Protected by the Father… closing my eyes at night I know I am protected by the Father. From early years the prayer taught was:

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.

Mothers Day 1976
 Looking back on it now with full understanding of what the words mean, it is powerful. Mother taught us that prayer along with German prayers she said as a child. (this is not the exact German prayer I learned.)

Müde bin ich, geh zu Ruh, schliesse beide Äuglein zu. Vater, lass die Augen dein, über meinem Bette sein. Hab ich Unrecht Heut getan, sieh es lieber Gott nicht an. Aber Christi Gnad und Jesu Blut, machen allen Schaden gut. Amen.

Mothers Day 2011



Our parents brought us up in a home filled with God’s presence. The praying of morning and evening prayers has stayed with me my entire life.  My Mother taught us early in life that our strength came from God and our prayers are directed to Him.

 She knew she and dad would not always be with us to protect us, but God could and He would.  She taught us to affirm the truth that the Father always goes before us preparing the way. We can follow Him in confidence and know we live in His presence and protection.

Thank you Mom for empowering us for this life’s journey. Happy Mother’s Day. 

I love you.

Proverbs 31:2  “Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her.”

Words of my heart, Laurie Pace

Translation of German Prayer:
I'm tired, go to rest, close my eyes to both.
Father, let your eyes, be on my bed.
Have I done wrong Today, God does not see it better.
But Christ's grace and Jesus' blood, make good any damage. Amen.

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 ...
