"If you want to see the sunshine, you have to weather the storm."  Frank Lane

 It is indeed one of my favorite quotes that makes me smile.  Life if full of storms... and true to God's promise, the Sun always comes out after the storm.   

 Did you remember that Helen Keller said, "Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow." ?

 Well the healing codes puts these two together. Our life experiences happen. The Storms are different for each of us. The heart results of those can be devastating and hurtful to ourselves and our health. What is left is not just a fading memory of a 'happening' or 'storm', but the heart memory of the feeling associated with the 'happening'.  That is what fills our heart with the fear for the storm, not the storm itself.  If you cannot root out that fear and banish it from your heart, you will carry the fear or hurt forever in this lifetime. THEN, if your heart and minds are set to keep your face to the sunshine...to GOD, you cannot see the storm nor feel the hurt from it any more. 

 As we move into Easter weekend, today it Good Friday. Good Friday is the day on which we commemorate the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross, the act that brought salvation to all who believe.  Join me today and begin to put all your 'hurts and feelings' at the foot of the cross. Keep your eyes on God and walk away leaving all of them behind. Do not turn back for them. Instead replace them with joy, love and acceptance for yourself and who you are. God created you as a special person, unique with gifts and things yet to be discovered. Today begins the first day of the rest of your life.

 Blessing you each today,
Laurie

 Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”[e] When he had said this, he breathed his last. Luke 23:46

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 ...
