Making the Journey with a Friend.

 All the medicine in the world cannot heal someone if their heart does not want to heal. Loneliness takes the life of many people every day.. day by day, little by little, part of the mind and body pull further away from the world in their personal journey. 

 Sharing time with those you love is primary. Letting people know you care about them and you are invested in their life can make a difference. Make a call today to someone you love that you have not spoken to.  My oldest friend is in Austin. We have not spoken by phone in years.  Maybe I will call her today.  I want her to know I love her and pray for her. We catch up on Facebook maybe once a month, but I miss hearing her voice.  I really do not know what is going on in her life right now.  We are all plugged in too much to our computers (yes here I sit) and our relationships are internet friendships.  I want to get back to 'in your face' relationships. I am willing to change. Are you?

 Throughout this day mindfully practice gratitude for what you have and then think of someone you need to share your time with giving back to help someone else feel whole and loved. You and I can make a difference. 

 "On the day I called, you answered me, you increased my strength of soul" Psalm 138:3

 ** Hayden and Apsen was painted as a commissioned painting back in 2007.  That family has been on a journey that would reduce most of us to total depression. They battled and faced cancer down several times with their youngest son (not Hayden).  The battle came to an end last year as he soared on angel wings to heaven. If you know someone dealing with a sick child, is there anything you can do to lighten their load?  Give where you can.

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 ...
