 Happy Thanksgiving. 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This past weekend I finally met up with Louis Baca.  My daughter Stacey and I had been out to Old Navy. They had ALL winter coats 50% off. 

 Louis Baca is the Geneva Financial Rep for the DFW area.  Genevafi.com/dfw  

 Louis supports veterans and helps with finding homes, collecting supplies and coats, backpacks, food etc.  Stacey and I hit Old Navy and we were the first to be buying coats and found some incredible ones to purchase.  We outfitted with new coats 9 veterans, with hats, gloves, scarves, coats and more. Both of us had gently used coats and we collected those from neighbors and friends, along with hats and scarves and gloves... and Terry and I drove to meet Louis in Dallas last Friday.  It was amazing.   I do not have time to load the film Terry took, but this was the picture of the two of us. 

 Give thanks today... not only for family and friends, but for our military active and retired, and remember them this day and in the coming season ahead. Many are alone, homeless, aching from life itself, but they chose to give up everything to defend our country and serve each and every one of us.  It is time we remember to serve them and give back what we can.  

 Every year at this time our family does the angel tree at church and we love buying the wish list for those children.  These veterans, many are homeless, or living day to day.  Perhaps this year you might do more than just an angel on the tree... find your local veteran's help group and see what they need.  

 Happy Thanksgiving... blessings from our home to your heart. Thank you Louis Baca for inspiring our families to actively be apart of this season. 

 "All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God."  2 Corinthians 4:15

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 ...
