The Painting: This is another small piece of one of the little girls above in my header on the blog. The family went to Ireland this summer.... I love painting these little miniatures.

The Thought;  I may have to be thoughtless today... no sleep, sick husband. He was up and down all night coughing, wheezing etc.  He has had a sore throat and I got meds from Northlake Health Food Store for that... but now the chest is involved. I started him on Mucenix ( I think I spelled that wrong) this morning at 5 am.   SOOO... not much in my head today, my eyes keep nodding off if I sit longer than 10 minutes.

I am in prayer for the those in Haiti.  That includes all the support and relief groups dedicating their time and concern as well as those that have been on ground zero where the earthquake occurred.  The world seems so much smaller these days with the internet and tv news.  Everything unfolds before us in an instant and we are wisk to that very place.  God has a good plan, it is His plan and He knows what will be; so when things happen to us,  it is how we react and deal with these things that determines our growth as believers. God is moving and unfolding His plan all around us, just as a painter does on a canvas. He is after all the Great Creator and Head Artist of All.   His brushstrokes can change the composition of our lives in a single breath.

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 ...
