Forgot to blog this morning. That is rare considering it is something I have done every morning for over 4 years, almost five years.

Things were scrambled yesterday. I was sitting at the computer yesterday morning about nine and I looked backwards before rolling my chair (The dog was behind me laying down.) and saw massive blood all over the floor. Paddy lifted his head and seemed okay, but obviously something was not okay. I called out to Terry to get out of bed and he came pretty quick. Long story short, Paddy had cut open his foot across his 'pads'. VERY DEEP. Terry and I quickly bound up his foot and headed for the nearest vet. This would be the vet with all the wild animals. Zebras, Kangaroos etc... With in the hour Paddy was in surgery and his foot was stitched back in place.

Took Terry and I over an hour to clean up all the blood everywhere. We picked Paddy up about five thirty yesterday and he did well last night. I put a plastic bag on his foot this morning and a little child's sock to hold it on. That is what we have to do every time he goes outside. It will be a long 10 days I am afraid. If the dog was not depressed before, he will be now.

I have the image floating through my head that God has this huge computer now and He has multiple screens to keep up with all of us (Yeah, bear with me) and suddenly He focuses in on a huge mess (no different than me turning and being surprised by so much blood.) He shakes His head and wonders outloud, "What did they do now?"

What do we do when we get our life in what seems to be a huge mess? What do we do when we feel like we are falling deeper into the pit of despair and everything is going wrong?

I pray you have a relationship with God and if you do not, that you begin at this moment to offer up that prayer for Him to be in your life. I pray you have someone you can talk to. Bad things happen to good people. Horrible things occur in our lives and there are times it feels we are trapped so deeply we cannot even remember what it was like to smile. I especially dislike the times when everything seems to be spiraling so fast and you literally cannot catch your breath.

When you are here, you need to remember you are not alone. This is when you reach out to God in prayer and let Him know your desperation and need. Then you reach out to someone in your life to help anchor you for that time. Let them know you need them. We have each other in this journey for comfort, for love, for laughter, for sharing tears and pain and for giving and living together.

"I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry." Psalm 40:1

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 ...
