Contemporary Art Work


Good morning Friday Sept Seventh! Phil arrived in the midst of art classes yesterday. He is a pleasant house guest and delight to sit and visit with. I truly appreciate folks that think before responding in a conversation...so much thought is behind the conversation...not just emotions clouding things. Very intelligent young man, Niki, you did a wonderful job!

Painting this morning is a small one, four by six in size on Gallery Wrapped Canvas. It is available for sale, contact me and make an offer! Think about the holidays and gifts that need to be bought. ART gives love daily in a home.

Deep reading in 1 Samuel right now. Simply amazed at things I guess I had not slowed down to read over the past fifty years. Was deeply moved by the story of Samuel and Saul when the Lord told Saul to wipe out the Amalekite tribe. (They had done bad things to the Israelites when they left Egypt. I think that is like the revenge thing.) Saul didn't exactly do that...well, he was supposed to finish them ALL off along with their livestock etc. He sort of decided he could use the livestock and kept the best of those and then killed everyone but the king...not sure what he was going to do with him. Samuel was pretty darn distressed because he had given Saul the message to DO IT ALL and Saul did not do it all. He followed PART of the instructions from God, thinking there was a better way to deal with it. (Do I read there is an issue with CONTROL in this story) Well that didn't cut it with the Lord and Saul lost his job as the Leader/King of the Israelites. It grieved Samuel tremendously as it did the Lord to have Saul disobey.

Really made me think. Falls into category those little white lies we all tell, or how we are all SOO good at justification of things and rationalizing things to fit our situation and need. My hand goes up guilty of that...for what ever reasons, even some of them I think are for the sake of feelings of others...but again that is not acceptable. I told Terry it felt like there was only BLACK and WHITE....no gray. With our faith in God and our trust it has to be this way. God's love is available to us if we believe. NO gray areas there...just believe.

Read my verse from Psalms today....there is no gray area here either.

Grace,
Laurie

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 ...
