“She has that quality, does the Hudson, as I imagine all great rivers do: the deep, abiding sense that those activities what take place on shore among human beings are of the moment, passing, and aren't the stories by way of which the greater tale of this planet will, in the end, be told.” 
― Caleb Carr, The Angel of Darkness

It is one of  THOSE days.  We all have them.

It is my birthday. The older you get, the birthdays fly by. My dad's was the day after mine and I lost him in 2012.  I miss my birthday partner in life.  My mom said she went to vote before checking into the hospital.  I am an election baby. 

Without my dad as the guide he was during my life, I flounder at times.  Sleep may evade me and the more I pray and think about it, it may be because I need to accept I am safe just like I am. I am loved just as I am.  God will take care of me just as I am. There are so many times in the past, and I imagine there will be in the future too, that I do not stay focused and connected to God. It is this daily, hourly, minute to minute contact that provides the love, the safety and the feeling of comfort from Him. Living daily with Him allows Him to be apart of my thoughts, actions and words. This totally affects how I view others and the situations that confront me each day. In my years on this planet in this earthly journey, I have made some really bad decisions among the really good ones. God stayed and walked the worst and best of it with me to always reach a point of returning to His plan after I deviated doing it my way. 

I cherish my relationship with our Father. I celebrate the life He gifted me.  He gave me this birth day entrusting me in the hands of two loving parents that raised me in His love. I pray that I have passed this onto my children and Terry and I are continuing to pass the Father's Word and Love to our grandchildren. 

Romans 8:31  "What can we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?" 

Thank you Mom!

Laurie

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 ...
