“They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.” Tom Bodett

Right now our life is full and we are so busy and blessed. On one side we live right in the midst of our grandchildren and their families. On the flip side we miss east Texas and the lake and our friends. 

We took steps to joining a new church that is a new campus of a larger church, and we feel really blessed by this decision to go and visit and get to know the people that call it their home. It meets at a Marriott in the conference rooms right now as they are so newly established, there is no land purchased yet or site built.  Getting in at the beginning here has been a blessing. The men and women we have meet welcomed us like old friends. (I am smiling as I am typing!)

This week was full of much happening with our extended families.  One of them has had some bug they are sharing around with sinus, coughing and sore throats.  Hard to see your grandchildren so miserable and my heart hurts for our daughter trying to stay well amongst the illness which took her hubby down too. Our eldest son's family has battled a cold passing it around between them all, including the five month old. Our son left for a business meeting this week out of town and his super supportive wife was left to juggle the baby and a very very active 6 year old all with colds. They live too far from us to help much, but we have been in prayer.  The youngest son and his family have stayed well so far. 

We have someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.  
So may all your enemies perish, LORD! But may all who love you be like the sun when it rises in its strength.” Then the land had peace forty years." Judges 5:31

Sunlit Bowl

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Sunlit Bowl Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   A Painting of soft pink and white flowers   created in 2013 brings back memories of living at Lake Cypress Springs. I loved it there. It did not love me!  Mold was my downfall.  I was prolific at painting there with my studio looking over the waters of a large catfish pond and Lake Cypress Springs. The mold pushed us back to DRY Dallas.  God guides our path today.  Memories are flooding in with the morning sun.  Proverbs 4:18    “ The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.”  Today will be over 100 degrees but by Saturday the high is 79. Weather is the main talk these days. Remember I am in Texas.   We heard they may get snow in the Ohio River Valley. We are to see storms from the Pacific Hurricane coming our directio...
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...
