Christmas was a day and a half yesterday.  I came close to the edge of forgetting it was even Christmas.  Throw in only 4 hours of sleep after staying up late to build toys, the baby getting up for Santa just after 5 am, a chaos of toys, more toys, and more toys and Tunes of Woody singing HOME ON THE RANGE and Buzz Lightyear TO INFINITY and BEYOND, the Aliens from the Claws  WOOOOAH, a Green dinosaur named Rex that says Raarr WERE YOU SCARED, Mr and Mrs Potato Head, a HUGE group of green army men marching to AH AH AH, a miniature trampoline, Lincoln Logs, Weebles, a Bitty Baby, cars with a garage, dress up clothes, games, purses, clothes and then blend in one trip to the ER, a trek to south Arlington to gather with our entire family, eating way too much food and driving back home to collapse.... and finally snuggling up with Terry to share our bible study reading the Christmas story.  Then we both let out a deep breath and knew where we were. It was Christmas and the day was not done... the day will stretch into the year ahead and it is up to the two of us to do our best to keep the joy of Christmas in every day. Make living in Christ a way of living each day, not just on Christmas. 

May the light fill your life in 2011.

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 ...
