Still life Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace

12 x 16 inches

Inquiries: Laurie


Painting this morning for sure. Calls from The Red Tree Gallery for additional pieces and that will definitely keep me busy!

Yesterday Mom finally went with me to Three Fountains to swim. Brother Kirk went with us. With in moments I knew I could live there and love it. The pool is warm bath temperature, which is really good for me! We stayed in a bit long and got pruney, but she moved around quite a bit; so much so was rather weak getting out. We have a way to go to build up strength.
I hope God was not listening to that last remark...reminds me of someone once saying to me 'do not pray for patience'.... I am beginning to get the picture... don't pray for strength or you can be sure some trials are on the way to answer your prayers!

How do you build strength in your life? Do you think God will just touch your heart and you will have the strength? A good parent wants the child to learn from experience. That is the key teaching method in our lives. If we are handed everything we miss out on life lessons and become an intolerable spoiled child. There are consequences for everything we do. There are lessons for us to learn every day. If you ever stopped and listed situations and tracked how they unfolded you would easily see how you are strengthened. Track your prayer requests and you will see how much God truly does in your life.

Have a good work out today!

Grace,
Laurie

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 ...
