 Dead or Alive?
Grow with God.

Terry brought me in cut flowers this morning!  I was thrilled....Dead flowers, are they really dead? Absolutely NOT!  Through death they provide the seeds for new blooms in our lives. ( By the way... these are Zinnias)

There is always a gift or legacy that survives a person's death as well, and new things to grow. Memories always remain, some dimming with the years. The trust and love of someone dear that has left us through death journeying on to Heaven,  encourages us to live forward and carry on the the very things we have learned in life from them. 

Only three out of our seven grandchildren knew my Dad.(His great grandchildren) He lived a life always serving others and I pray the seeds he planted served every family well. We lost one of these grandchildren when he was 11 years old. I know my Dad was welcomed by him in heaven when he passed. 

Having photos of the three older grands (his Great Grands) with Mom and Dad is a treasure and brings smiles to all of us. 

Meanwhile, here is a treasured photo of my Dad with our eldest son when he was only three months old at Christmas time. My Dad treasured and loved his first born grandchild, a grandson, and always was proud of him through life as he grew up. There were challenges along the way that kids always face.  Dad always said, you learn through your mistakes.  We are blessed with our oldest son's family, his wife and three sons! Looking back at this photo from 1975, I realize it has been a lifetime of great joy with family. 



There are always stories in life... from the very beginning through our continuation day to join God. Thankfully Terry and I are BLESSED to be close to family and watching all six of the remaining grandchildren bloom into wonderful caring individuals. 

“Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court." Psalm 127:3-5

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 ...
