Horse Oil Painting By Laurie Justus Pace

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

Sunlit Bowl

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Sunlit Bowl Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   A Painting of soft pink and white flowers   created in 2013 brings back memories of living at Lake Cypress Springs. I loved it there. It did not love me!  Mold was my downfall.  I was prolific at painting there with my studio looking over the waters of a large catfish pond and Lake Cypress Springs. The mold pushed us back to DRY Dallas.  God guides our path today.  Memories are flooding in with the morning sun.  Proverbs 4:18    “ The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.”  Today will be over 100 degrees but by Saturday the high is 79. Weather is the main talk these days. Remember I am in Texas.   We heard they may get snow in the Ohio River Valley. We are to see storms from the Pacific Hurricane coming our directio...
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...
