SOLD



Saturday Morning has found me up early and really ready to paint. Habits are habits though and blogging my paintings comes first. The piece above was at the NY show this summer. I had it sent home to sell from the blog or from eBay, which ever happens first. If you need a really large piece, NICE large piece and you like this, email me as it is looking for its home. The brown paper on the back of the painting has a slight tear in it, but the painting and the frame are in perfect condition. I do not normally post prices on the blog but will assure you it is affordable, so if you like it email me. The frame alone was $250 and I have it priced just a bit higher than this.

Old habits....as I read Daily Word this morning, which is where I often get direction for my thoughts here...I am grinning at the Lord again...I had typed all the way through the words, OLD HABITS.... just above and then typed in the bar dailyword.com. We are in sync today with out prior knowledge or planning, " I breathe in and feel the comfort of being filled with God’s presence. I breathe out and release any discomfort, tension, or restrictive habits in thought and deed."

Do you have some bad habits or restrictive habits? One of my worst is when I am stressed I eat. That is why I gained weight this past two years. If I could have let some of my stress go to the Lord I would probably still fit in my size ten jeans. I find it terribly hard to drop some of those old habits that keep me restricted in thought and in my negative frame of mind. Why do we find it so difficult to let go of things? We bring 99 percent of our stress on our selves. We do not even have to have others helping us. God is in control, but we have control over our thoughts and our habits, we simply cannot let go of them.

Today begin something new, rest in the Lord, REST. Let go of any negative thought today. When the next one creeps into your mind, LET IT GO. Do not allow it to rob you of the joy that the Lord has for you. REST. Prepare for the spring yet to follow the winter. REST. Prepare for new growth, new thoughts and the new habit of letting go and letting GOD.

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 ...

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 ...
