THROUGH THE FIRE
Horse Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace

20 x 20 inches

Inquiries:Laurie


We are in Amarillo. We made it in time for a glass of wine at the "Happy Hour" and then hit the indoor pool and swam for about 30 minutes. After a hot shower we ate left over Buffalo burgers Terry made at home last night, fresh cut up fruit and left over corn on the cob. We traveled with our Oxygen Pillows and yes, we both slept like logs...no neck aches or shoulder aches and after 8 hours in the car...that says a lot!

Our trip out of town yesterday was slow. We finished packing up the car about ten thirty, made a stop at the post office and then stopped to visit my dad, who is in respite care. We left Dallas at 12:30 and headed north to Denton and then North west to Amarillo. Next stop today will be Denver to see Uncle Charles and Aunt Barbara; Thursday we will drive from there into Jackson.

Morgan was settled into the house and the dogs were happy he was there. The plants inside and out have to be watered and maintained along with the dogs. Last weekend he popped a string on my favorite guitar...I have one left with six strings on it, hopefully it will stay in tack.

I give thanks this morning for the safe journey thus far. I give praise for the love that surrounds our family and for the gifts God has given. I think for us today will be PRAISE day and we will spend it sharing the beauty and giving thanks! God has abundantly provided for each of us. Believe in Him and believe in abundance...it is yours.

Grace,
Laurie

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21

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 ...
