I put a special "love" card on my husband's pillow last night.  I had taken time to select a special "I love you" card and saved it until I wanted to surprise him.  I had crawled into bed with a book around 9:15 and reading was really sleepy when he finally came to bed about 10.  I waved the card at him because the room was dark, my light was off already.  He still didn't see it and sat down on the side of the bed to crawl in and I grabbed the card to save it from wrinkledom.  He switched on his light to read it, but alas, no glasses, so I had to read it aloud to him.

Makes me wonder how often God is out there waving things in our face for us to see, but we are still moving around in our dark circles chasing things that will either hurt us or take us where we do not truly need to be.  When do we stop and ask Him to "read" to us, or tell us what it is He wants to tell us?  When did you sit quietly and ask Him and then waited and listened? Perhaps a light will come on for you.

Quit trying to analyze where you think you should be, and quiet your mind to His voice. He does have a special "love" note for you. He will fill you with His joy and gifts more than you think you can hold. He has never promised a 'golden' walk to any of us. What He has promised is to walk with us at all times. He will never lead us to a place and desert us. He never gives us more or less than we need, in both sorrow and in joy. Trust and listen.

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 ...
