FLOWER PICKERS
Child Contemporary Art Oil Painting By Laurie Justus Pace
SOLD



Sunday dawns and I truly hesitate not to get tangled in knots realizing what lies ahead for the day. I have eight paintings to pack, which follows Thursday's packing of 15 for the show in Jackson.... and I am working on two easels today. Only peace through the Lord will restore my calm.

Yesterday Stacey and I went shopping. We were hunting some maternity clothes for her and I was looking for something to wear next Saturday night for the opening. I had discovered a store on the walks out at North Park....PINTO RANCH, managed by Susan Campbell. It is a delightful store, filled with beautiful designer clothes for both men and women with that great western flair. They also carry hand made boots, hats and little surprises for the kids. I bought the new grandbaby TINK a full set of Soft Barn Animals. Yes it was an impulse buy.

We continued on in search of maternity and finally found somethings to tide Stacey through the hot summer and early fall... we will revisit clothes in October.

Upon arriving home, my grandson Jonathan was here along with Justin and Jan. Justin prepared a gourmet meal for us all. Mom and I pigged out. Terry is working double today and yesterday so we can leave early for our trip. Morgan will hold down the fort along with Paddy and Annie... the dogs. Paddy was thrown out of puppy training, so he doesn't do well at boarding facilities either. I told Terry we needed a camper to travel and take the pups with us.
Jon helped me make a cake with frosting and did a mighty fine job. These are precious moments and I savor them all. (yes Tom, I always write about food, I savored it and the time with Jon.)

I received an email from a reader commenting about yesterday's blog. She shared about cleaning out clutter in her home and her life. This is so essential. It seems overwhelming, but you can do it. I love when I get emails sharing experiences relating to life and the greatness of God. God is Good...all the time, God is good. "this is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." God continues to give us all the strength to move forward in our lives. He lights the way and He is our guide.

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 ...
