“Blame it or praise it, there is no denying the wild horse in us.” Virginia Woolf, Jacob’s Room

I agree our nature is renewed day by day, but I also need my sleep by night. That certainly recharges my batteries. I read somewhere that your ‘day’ begins the night before when you climb into bed.  Think about that.  So when you pull up those covers you are setting the stage for what you now think of as tomorrow.   

Every new day/night brings to you a new change and a chance to choose a new path. You can begin again. If you chose to start this as you climb into bed, you realize then, your day is over. The night ahead is for tomorrow.  Forgive and forget what needs to be left behind and begin anew as you turn in tonight. Every day I have intentions to do things and they slowly fall to the side as priorities step in front of them. Sometimes I feel at the end of the day I am further behind than when I got up.  But I do not want this to affect my sleep tonight. 

I will aspire to be an expression of my Father. Generosity shall be upfront today, mingled with love and kindness.  He will support me as I go through this night and the new day.  God will not fail me. He will support me as I endeavor to be centered in Him throughout this day and sleep in his love tonight. When I need an "attitude adjustment", I know He will gently remind me to recheck and realign my thoughts and intentions. With every breath, every word and every encounter you have a new beginning today and tonight. 

"Our inner nature is being renewed day by day." 2 Corinthians 4:16

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 ...
