TRAVEL TO GREENER GRASS

Horse Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace

15 x 30 inches Gallery Wrap Canvas


SOLD


Friday has not dawned by sun time but it has by the clock. I worked until after nine last night painting and will be jumping back in front of the easel in a few moments. I noted it is difficult to ever catch up or get ahead. Strange that I chose to post this painting today...traveling to greener grass....chasing the elusive and missing what is right there in front of you.

Living in the moment is the key here. There is no catching up or getting ahead with God. That was part of my thought process this morning around one as the phone rang waking us up. As we settled back down to try to sleep again I realized this moment is the most important moment. It could be the beginning moment, the middle moment or an ending moment....but it is the moment of truth of being and being with the Lord in your heart and soul is the ultimate. In my heart as I laid there listening to the quiet of the night I felt a peace knowing Terry and I were safe in His care at that moment. Terry is there for me, and I for him, and together with God we make our time in a gentle peace enjoying the bounty we have in our love for Him and for each other. That is what is important to me in this moment.

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 ...
