A Painting A Day


This week of my life has been a journey and I have walked it totally in faith that the Lord has a plan to make something out of what has happened with in our family. I was at my youngest son's apartment on Wednesday night and saw a piece of art work I did back in 1999 and between that inspiration and my paints today, this work emerged. Not sure if it is fall or winter or even spring...but from the dark into the light exists as well as the path between. Isn't that life ? Also in my mind were thoughts of another daily painter, Cheryl A. Pass... she was questioning where she was going with her art...her journey...and all of this was tumbling around in my head as I worked yesterday.

Gotta hit the canvas. Was contacted by a Western Store north of here that wants to carry some work and I promised some pieces, so today I will be painting non stop!

Grace to you all...

Laurie


Okay...now try this one...as I go to Daily Word online...this is the entire reading today. Read this and then try and tell me God's hand is not in our lives. The tears are flowing down my face at this moment making it hard to type...I am hoping this messages reaches a friend in Canada as well.

Inner Peace
The Christ of my being fills my heart with love. I am calm and at peace.
There is a presence of love within me that cannot be disturbed. This sacred presence is the Christ of my being.
Wherever I am, I can turn within to this heart of love and know the peace that passes all understanding. As I lay any burdensome thoughts and memories down, I enter into a consciousness of peace. Calm and serene, I know and see myself as the beloved creation of God I was created to be. Through the understanding that comes from deep within me, I am patient with myself and with others. I am an instrument of peace.
The love of Christ fills my heart and shines forth from within me, guiding every step I take and every word I speak. In all circumstances, I am calm and at peace.


“What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.”—John 1:3-5

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 ...
