Reflections

Mother said to me at age 82 she cherishes all of her memories made over the years.  She encourages Terry and I to continue making those memories because they will sustain us in hard times and lonely times ahead.

I look back often on memories of my mother's mother, my Nonnie.  She lived part of her year in Dallas with our family and then the rest of the year with my aunt and her family in St Louis, which was Nonnie's home. I learned so much from my grandmother and if she had not given of herself to spend part of her life with us in Dallas, I would have missed out on many things in my life that I have used and loved.  She taught me how to sew.  I literally made 95% of my kids clothing. I use to make men's shirts and jumpsuits as well as 90% of my own clothes.   I do not sew as much today but I can make drapes, curtains, clothes, bedspreads, etc and this all came from the things Nonnie taught me as she shared her time and life with us.

I build forward in those same areas with others today... teaching, mentoring, and sharing my life.  I look back at so many wonderful people that touched my life from professors in college, to aunts and uncles and cousins, to sorority sisters and other moms as we grew up together raising our children.  We all contributed to each others lives.  Open love and willingness to share with each other brings positive change to all of our lives.  For this I am grateful.

Lord, thank you for the positive presence so many people have had in my life.

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 ...
