Horse Oil Painting By Laurie Justus Pace

24 x 18 x 2 inches

Inquiries: Laurie




Tuesday dawns with over 25 triple digit heat days in Dallas. Can I say HOT???

I am taking the day off today so no painting. I will turn energies toward grocery shopping, getting mom's passport updated and general wash etc.

Sometimes sorrow creeps into our lives. Painful events, deaths, dark moments etc. Last night Morgan arrived home to find his apartment broken into. I am thankful he was not there. They didn't clean him out, and I am thankful for that. They took some key very expensive things and somethings that cannot be replaced. Not just physically things but the emotional security of feeling safe and not violated. His Mac Laptop is gone along with the book he was writing. I only have through page 26 so there are 50 pages missing.

Often when we are so distressed we don't even know what we should pray for, or how we should pray. That is when I believe the Holy Spirit within takes over for me, when I cannot expresses the deep grief in my soul. I know though, despite my babbles, God knows what is in our hearts and the spirit with in pleads for us.

Words may stick in your throat and tears sting your eyes and nothing is unnoticed by God. He feels the pain you are in and he catches your tears in His love. The Holy Spirit is comforting you always as God is working.

I leave you to thought of who you need to pray for today, for those that cannot pray they are in so much hurt and pain.

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 ...
