Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply" (Gen 1.28)


There was joy and love last night at the wedding anniversary party we attended of some close family friends. There were crowds unbelievable celebrating the happiness of the occasion. The pictures below were taken by my brother Kirk on his phone so they are a bit blurry...but the sentiment is here!

We attended a mass at St Patrick Church in Dallas as they recommitted themselves and renewed their vows before family and friends and then off to a private club for a feast you would not believe. Their eldest son, Mike, has several restaurants in the Snyder Plaza area of Highland Park... that alone should say enough...

Pat and Andy, daughter Mary Elizabeth to the left.


This is Mom and Pat together...their friendship has spanned over 40 years. They are prayer partners through life and sisters of the heart.


It is always a heart warming occasion to celebrate marriage and family. The two should be as one is a purposeful gift from God. By bringing two together as one...they should be as one protecting each other and loving each other. The perfect joy from this relationship is indescribable. It touches back on my blog for yesterday about loving those you care about and putting their needs often before your own. Commitment.

Prepare for the week today spiritually and lovingly for your family. Pat and Andy are truly blessed with their four remarkable children, Mike, Mark, Mary Elizabeth and Matthew and all the grandchildren! (They definitely had an M thing going on!) I used to baby sit these children...I think I am only a few years older than Mike though...and laughed last night when separately both older boys told me they had a crush on me when I was a teenager... made mention of my bikinis (Egads) as I took them swimming often. I never knew! I just loved them all and their family was an extension of our family.

The will of God will never lead you where the grace of God cannot keep you.

A Bit of Wonder Contemporary Horse Oil Daily Painting Art by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 30 x 2 inches of thick buttery oils! Contact me to purchase: Laurie "This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it". Psalm 118:24 It was a day of celebration yesterday as Lauren Gracen was born. Stacey began her labor around nine in the morning and was ready to push by 12:15, but they held her off while getting things set up. Took four good contractions with multiple pushes and the baby was there! All grandparents accounted for to count the toes and fingers! My admiration is for my daughter and her bravery and calmness despite the tension and newness of what she faced. I was honored to be there as the baby was delivered seeing my granddaughter push out into the light and take her first breathe... and then cry... and that she did. Terry was able to participate and he and Larry helped with pushing and getting Stacey upright for the process and then Terry was hon...

Arrival...Refrigerator?

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Arrival Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whtever you do, and he will establish your plans."   Worrisome times laced with prayers.   The world seems like a scary place lately. Praying for everyone affected by the last two hurricanes.  My adventures today were the result of a dead refrigerator. I have loved my Kitchen Aid refrigerator very much. The first one in the 'French Kitchen' look died at 13 months. Hubby wanted the same refrigerator. Well this one made it four years and a few months. I cannot believe appliances are not made to last longer...but wait, is that because they make more money if we have to replace it in 4-5 years?  You replace your mattress at least every 7 years... and your washer dryer, you might get 7 years out of those... The stoves seem to make it closer to 10 years. We are Lowe's customers, and Robert ...

The Marsh... of our lives? Walking with God.

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 The Marsh 6 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   I did two of these paintings about three years ago. They both sold immediately to a Florida Collector. Simple and elegant for a horse painting.  Ephesians 5:1-2 "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma."  One of the biggest challenges in walking with God is trusting Him and not trying to out think Him or to do everything your way. It never works.  The Apostle Paul wrote of his own struggles in Romans 7 .  Romans 7: 22-23 “ So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the ...
