“One winter morning Peter woke up and looked out the window. Snow had fallen during the night. It covered everything as far as he could see.” ― Ezra Jack Keats, The Snowy Day

 It is the fourth Sunday in Advent. In one week it will be Christmas.  Today we will light three purple candles and our Pink Candle. This new candle represents PEACE.  Our current life here in the USA is anything but safe and sane after the last year. Never in my life have I witnessed family members turning against each other as well as life long friends.  People just seem to hurt other people. The world and the United States seems full of discord, people screaming to be heard, the ME generation protesting, riots, the shooting of police officers, bombing, and murder and mutilation. Is your skin crawling yet?  

 This is the day we light the candle of peace. 

 How do we bring it into our lives, and the lives of people in our community and nation?  Can we stop shouting at each other?  The opinions of others is not important...and neither is yours. What is important is God's word and his promises to us of PEACE. During advent we should be praying that we, as well as other people, will seek God's peace in our lives and our world. In times of war and hatred, elections and change, we often forget that Jesus is the only who brings peace. So as we enter this last week before we celebrate Jesus' first coming, we should remember that God wanted our world to be a place of peace. 

 CHRISTMAS PEACE TO YOU.

 John 14:27, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you."

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 ...
