JACKSON THREE ~ Abstract Horse Painting by Laurie Justus Pace

22 x 28 inches
Acrylic on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary ART for the home.

SOLD


Short on time...have to finish four paintings today...two are underway and thank goodness the other two are small. THE CHRISTMAS CRUNCH is here and tie in moving and I am straying from the word Calm.

The poor dogs are wandering around the maze of boxes very leery of what is happening. Terry says they will need a therapist downsizing their yard from an acre to a tiny city sq of land. This week has found them connected in a new way, laying shoved up against each other and when I am in the studio they lay snuggled up in the center of this small room. I literally cannot even move from the desk to get to the easel.

Morgan packed the kitchen on Friday, so when I have the stress need to snack, there is nothing there. Actually there is brown rice and a box of Cheerios. I made a small pot of brown rice yesterday and ate it for lunch/dinner at three. Couldn't make a big pot because they are all packed. After I ate what I wanted I discovered all the Tupperware is packed too. I am not very prepared. I stop and look around the house wondering how the rest of the stuff is going to mysteriously shove itself into boxes.

I know things are bad when I emerged from the closet with two unmatched running shoes, but the only choice I had to wear today, and my husband is wandering around a la natural wearing his glasses and his watch...looking for his clothes. At least I had clothes, I could not complain about the unmatched shoes.

Preparedness...prepare for the season, prepare for a move, prepare for life. I don't believe it is in the actually physically preparing that counts, but rather in the mindset and the prayers. John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus and Jesus has prepared the way for us. This is the first Sunday in Advent. Spend your meditating moments in preparation for the celebration of the birth of Christ. Remove the chaos from around you and bask in the light of the Lord. Anticipate with great joy the gift from the Lord of his son into our lives.

In His Light

“You will go before the Lord to prepare his ways.”—Luke 1:76
