Times they are a Changing....

 Well this weekend marked several important moments. One was Jon's 14th birthday and the other was Lady L learning to make those pedals go around on her bicycle. Wahoo the princess is loose in the house on her wheels now and you better watch out. The more she goes in circles around the living room and kitchen the more daring she is.

We bought this bike for her a few months ago and although she could reach the pedals, she could not get enough pressure on them to get the idea of pushing and pedaling...until Saturday.


 Mom and Dad are really good about no riding with out the helmet.  She wears it constantly like a mini biker. On our way to Jonathan's birthday we passed a group of riders all with their helmets on. She had a huge grin on her face when I pointed out their helmets...she spoke out loud in awe..."Oma, look they have helmets like I have." It gave us the opportunity to reinforce the safety issues involved.

Life is amazing as we are all confronted with new things to do and face in our lives. Many times 'our feet do not touch' the pedals... and we try so hard to make it happen and the wheels just do not move despite our effort.  What happens then? We have to wait upon the Lord... and presently He will bring it to be... what His plan is.  We have watched Lady L try for three months now to pedal this bicycle and she is so proud of her new mobility.

On Sunday we visited Mom and I was thrilled to see her looking cheerful and  energetic.  God is good as the Great Healer has touched her with His mercy and recovery has begun.
 
 
 In my studio I have violets blooming. It is with a smile I tenderly care for this beauties as they are pretty finicky. Water and food and sunlight in measured amounts and they thrive and bloom through out the year. Right now all three plants are in full bloom and the colors are spectacular. This is one of my precious blessings that remind me of His Power and Touch in my life.  Despite the drought outside and the temperature of 113 degrees last night... inside my home colors are vivid on my violets as well as on my canvas.

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 ...
