I ran all day yesterday. Early Morning our power went out as the storm moved in.  It was after lunch before it went back on and so my day started late....very late.
 
We drove into Mt Pleasant and had a hot breakfast at IHOP and then to Lowe's to pick up a few things. Arriving back home just after noon, we had heat again...and lights of course.  Until you do with out you cannot appreciate what you have that is something so  simple.  Heat.  Going with out heat last spring in Dallas for over a week with temps in the low twenties was more than enough for me. I will not stay in a home with out heat again. That was horrible...like nightmare horrible.
 
Times in life are like that. Not everything is good every day, but the choice again is up to us to find the good in that moment of the day.  Terry and I were warm and in the truck. We had a warm breakfast at IHOP and enjoyed our morning together despite the power outage.  

So I challenge you when those outages happen in your life in other ways, to regroup, pray and go to the Father leaving Him to carry your frustration.  Then get back into living and find the best in your situation.  He will help you if you cannot see it.  

Believe in abundance and prepare...

“But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives” - 2 Peter 3:10-11

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 ...
