The Painting: This painting lives in Ohio.  This collector has two beautiful sons that I love to watch grow on their family blog.  Can you tell I met her through painting for her and I am the one gifted with the relationship and loving glimpses into the boys as they grow.

The Thought:  The word grow and spring seems to be appropriate, but I am on the thought of praying to reach out to those that are not near me.  From my sister Jan in Arizona, to the two wonderful growing boys in Ohio, to dear friends through out the United States and even the world, my prayers and hopes reach out to you far and near. To my classmates from the 1970 graduating class of Lake Highlands High School, to my fellow artists from Daily Painters and Artists of Texas, to my dear friend in Virginia and my other cherished friend in Detroit...I pray for you all.

Some one wrote me on yesterday's blog and said they would keep some of their scratches on their 'coffee pots' and she is right as those experiences make us who we are in our journey.  Praying and watching over others as they grow, bump their heads, gain scratches, make crumbs and discover the world, is huge.   When I watch the moon rise in the night sky, and I am saying my evening prayers, I know they see the same light from the same moon.  When the rising sun breaks the dawn, I welcome the day in prayer for them for their day to begin with this joyous light as well.

God's love wraps around us where ever we are and He lovingly greets us with a spiritual connection that crosses through everything...time, space, objects...through everything. He is woven within the fabric of our human body and our spiritual being.   So when I pray for these loved ones, I envision my prayers connecting through God's wrapping around surrounding them.  


My prayer reach out to you too.

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 ...
