OTHER SIDE OF THE EARTH
Abstract Landscape by Laurie Justus Pace

SOLD



Ice cream Party last night, here on the block...wow what fun!!! I have tons of pictures and will try and make a slide show this week, but no time this morning.

ALSO Birthday Party celebrations yesterday...REMEMBER?? I am sugared out.
FUN<> FAMILY.... and the blessings of the Lord! I will do a slide show of that one!
Watch below. I put it together fast and noted several typos, but it takes too long to change them, so just enjoy the slide show!



Today is boxing and shipping day, almost back to a normal work week, but not there as I have not been painting. THAT is not good. I will be painting by tomorrow. The piece I posted is several years old and is owned by a collector in Virginia. She has at least 20 of my paintings.

Divine order is the thought for today. Decisions in our lives seem to way lay us for days or weeks at at time. Sometimes it is fear of the unknown that keep us in that frozen position. It is said to conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom. If you allow divine order to be present in your mind and your life, fear cannot creep in. Someone also said, FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real....that usually means you are thinking too much. GOD is constant and he never abandons us at any time in our lives. We abandon him. Even when the situation seems too complex, and you question how there could ever be a positive outcome, you must know a resolution is possible because God's spirit weaves through our lives in every person and every situation.

If there are decisions to be made in your life that you cannot seem to grasp direction on and fear is taking over...it is time to release your thoughts. CHANGE your concentration in life over to something else or busy yourself with someone else. My wise grandmother always told me happiness could not be found, it would find you and the busier you were in doing for others the happier you would be. She was right. So as you face the day or week coming on, do not overflow your mind with so many things that have to be dealt with. Take each thing one at a time. Give it a limited amount of thought and if a decision is not there, move on to something else...or should I say someone else. Funnel your energy into productive things and pretty soon you will be able to come back to face a decision and you will know what to do.

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 ...
