Good morning from Dallas! It was brrr cold yesterday with Rain. I spent the morning with my mom with a stop at the Doc's, the store and then a fast lunch. Hoping to get her mended quickly and back on her feet again. This has been a rough winter for her already. Dad has a cold on top of it all, so keep them in prayer.

The above painting was done with a rag pull on canvas with my oil paints. This is my second rag pull painting. The first one sold on Daily Painters the day I posted it. I hope to do a third one this morning. Not sure of subject matter as of yet.

Wow, the holidays here have been so full. Highlights are difficult to choose from because it was all full of light and love and joy. We had more Christmas last night as Jonathan, our grandson came for dinner and gift exchange. He is such a joy to have in our home. We feasted on spiral ham from Whole foods, sweet potatoes, fresh tossed salad and steamed broccoli. Too full for dessert after all that. These memories will carry much joy and added pounds into the new year. Time to start the diet.

Billie flies home to NY today. BACK to the land of ice and snow. She cracked me up visiting as she walked around barefoot when it was 45 degrees outside. She loved Texas temperatures.... she swims when it is in the fifties in NY in the lake near her home. I would die even thinking about it. My blood is way thin after living in the south most of my life. I will cherish out time together along with my blue crocks I wear 24-7 now. Yes, she brought crocks into my life. I promised to take Jonathan to get a pair too!

What did Christmas bring into your life? My bounty is so deep I could not even begin to share it...the forever memories and moments, the laughter and the love....God is good. Take the joy into the new year.

Shalom,
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 ...
