Abstract Horse Painting by Texas Contemporary Equine Artist Laurie Pace, Prayer for Marriage

Striving
Sold

    
This is where it first began when I was about 11 or 12 years old.  It was the summer between 7th and 8th grade.


This was 1966... at a party.  We had a huge group of friends and we gathered every Saturday at a different house for dancing, Twister and Spin the Bottle.


This was in 1991 when we got married...twenty years ago. This was our engagement picture.  Wow look at all that hair!  He even has a mustache.



The wedding that followed.....and now twenty years later!   You will have to wait for those pictures.
I am still pretty sick and it put a huge damper on our plans.  Most of you know Morgan and Kelly are getting married on Saturday.

We are tickled their anniversary will be so close to ours!! Our prayers surround them as they take this step and begin their journey.

I decided to share this marriage prayer that Terry and I have used over the years we have been together.  Copy and save it; print it out and pray together with your spouse.


PRAYER FOR MARRIAGE


Most gracious God, we give you thanks for your tender love in sending Jesus Christ to come among us, to be born of a human mother, and to make the way of the cross to be the way of life.


We thank you, also, for our marriage in Your Name.  By the power of your Holy Spirit, pour out the abundance of your blessing upon us.


Defend us from every enemy and Lead us through the painful times giving us the courage to make the journey and find the j oy that grows from learning.  Give us peace, love and truth as part of the foundation of our love.


Let our love for each other be a seal upon each of our hearts, a mantle about about our shoulders, and a crown upon our foreheads.


Bless us daily in our work and in  our companionship; in our sleeping and in our waking; in our sorrows and in our joy; in our life and in our death.


Finally in your mercy, bring us to that table where your saints feast forever in your heavenly home; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and Reigns, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

Laurie

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 ...
