The Painting:  CONTINUED...


The Thought:  Husband is very sick. He has pneumonia. We spent most of yesterday morning at the doctor (you know if you follow me on facebook.) and the final diagnosis was pneumonia. After several hours there and $128 worth of drugs, we hope that combined with dedicated prayer will get him back on his feet soon.

I have been praying quite a bit over the past 24 hours as I watched him slide deeper into congestion and dry cough.  Praying is always the first thing I do.. if not I panic and that is not good.  The hardest part is the patience to wait and listen to wait I need to know.  It is only after this time is it time to take action.

Praying yesterday and listening both to God and to Terry's wheezing in his chest... I told him early evening we should run up to our Doctor's office.  He fought me on that one.  Our doctor is someone we grew up with, so I put in a call and left a message and later that evening he called me back.  He said as I did, they needed chest xrays.  So action began at 7:30 when I woke him and informed him we were leaving in 15 minutes.

When you pray you must pause and be ready to see what fills your mind or your heart as you wait for that answer.  Do not allow your mind to control what you hear; intuitively sense of course of action and accept it.  As you do you will take the first step in being ready to take that action.

I will keep you posted on his healing... step by step.

Praying for health for you and yours,

Laurie

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 ...
