Wyoming Paint Pony
OSWOA Horse Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace

SOLD $100



Egads it is after six thirty. I have been answering email for over an hour, but it is all good. I have sold quite a bit of work this morning and had to answer folks and get payment and shipping set up. Terry boxed 17 paintings this weekend and I just sold another 14...so he will be busy this week too in between the heater situation. Maybe Morgan can start boxing. I think that would work better. Then Terry can work on the heat.

Today is Ash Wednesday. Many folks have no clue, but for those of us that believe, we will be in prayer and contemplation of Easter week and be tuned closely with the events leading up to that time. This forty day period is often marked by giving up of something that would be missed greatly so we learn more about giving up and sacrificing. In our current lifestyles we are not normally concerned with giving up anything. My mom also taught us to add something as well during these forty days. Usually when we did, we added it for life. Where as giving up soda or coffee for 40 days, you literally spent the time counting down from forty till you could drink it again. So she taught us to do both. The sacrifice as well as the bringing in of something new into your life to do or give back with.

I have not made a full decision personally but will be in prayer today as I do. One gift I want to give to you this day is Peace. I want you to feel at peace. I want you to feel all is well and to love yourself this day as the person the Lord created to be you. Even just for the moment that you read this, know instantly how special you are. Know how unique you are. Know you are here to be apart of this world and touch the lives you touch with your gifts. You are a gift and a child of God.

Grace,
Laurie

"Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord." 2 Peter 1:2

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 ...
