The cool has arrived but for a short time.  High fifties as I write this blog this morning. Morgan is headed out from Lewisville to help Terry with yard work and our beach area to the pond.  We cannot burn anything due to the burn ban but Terry has his new chain saw to put into action.

Yesterday I mentioned a quote from Ben, the one about "You can get glad just as fast as you get sad/mad."  The more I thought about it, I wondered what exactly does it take to get your spirit to soar and rebound from the sad or mad.  Each of us has a spiritual strength woven through out our being. It must be this force that is able to uplift us in the darkest times. It is this same spirit that supports us when we extend ourselves out past that line of safety... that one we always set for ourselves.   Many times we miss something special because we limit what we do.  This keeps us from realizing our full divine potential.

See how often you use that spiritual strength.  It might be to start something new, like giving up sugar, or beginning an exercise program.  It could be giving up one job and starting a new one, or even having the faith to step out and start your own business.  It might mean giving up coffee or alcohol.  It might even mean giving up being grumpy or negative.  Every moment is a new and it is a moment filled with potential and possibilities.

You are meant to soar with the power of the spirit. You are meant to let go of the fears that hold you back. You are meant to use the abilities and gifts God has placed in you as He created you.  Now have true faith in the Father and allow yourself to soar.

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 ...
