 Taking Time to Breath

Now that we are home I am controlling things again. Immediately a new schedule is in place. I hope you are laughing.   Nope is not going to happen. BUT stopping to breath will happen. Stopping to reflect and renew will happen.

Breathing and relaxing bring peace to both the mind and the body.  When you intake air, believe you are bringing in the energy of God and when you release your breath you are expelling all the pent up anxiety and problems.  With every in and out... release it all and give it to God.

Be rejuvenated by the new air filling your lungs and body with power. Be nourished by Him who brings to you strength and resilience to carry on each day.

Speaking of resilience and nourishment...we were literally racing home on Saturday with an 11 hour drive from Santa Fe.  We were trying out a new route from Henrietta TX across HWY 82 that our neighbors Joe an Tony suggested we try. They travel from Mt Vernon to Wichita Falls quite a bit.   We hit the town of Nocona where Texas Artist Larry G. Lemons lives, and decided to get gas at the local Phillips 66. It is also known as the Nocona Fast Stop I think. BUT as we pulled in to gas up I noted on the side of the building, HOME MADE BAKERY PIES COOKIES CAKES  ~ SANDWICHES BARBECUE etc.   So we gas up and got food for the last two hours of the journey. 

Carol is the chef/baker there and I must say TOP Chef/PASTRY Chef baker.  Terry had a barbecue sandwich and I had simply a salad with grilled chicken.  Dessert was fresh HOT Blueberry Streusel, Butter Pecan Cake with butter cream icing, and just out of the oven from the meringue browning, a fresh slice of warm Coconut Cream Pie.   We rationalized that we would split everything and calorie wise it would not be too bad.  I cried walking away with out fresh chocolate chip cookies and the soft chewing oatmeal cookies...but who would have known in this tiny north Texas town that you could find pie crust that melted in your mouth, and cake that was absolutely the moistest with fresh chopped pecans.  Our mouths were literally sticky with delight from the wonderful desserts. Terry was in bliss as I had feed him while he drove homeward listening to Celtic Woman Lullaby CD.

Carol you made our trip and left a memory we will cherish.  Next time in Nocona I hope I can find you again.  God's blessing to you and your family.  Your gift is one to treasure, sharing the best of cooking with those on their journey hungry for nourishment. You obviously give the best to everyone. Thank you!

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 ...
