SOLD THANK YOU!!!



Sunday Morning and the house is quiet as I get Terry off to work. Later Mom and I will drive up to see Dad today.

THEN upon arriving home, I am three days behind after being caught up after the summer, so I will be working late tonight and through the next few days. It is bad when I am out of paintings to post on my blog.

We enjoyed our time with Mark Bryant. He boarded a plane late yesterday afternoon to head back to Nevada. I am laughing at the Tomato, TOMMAATO thing the long "a" sound or the "ah" sound. I do not pronounce Nev"ah"da correctly....it is Nev "a" da. I may have to work on that after 55 years of saying it incorrectly.

The family reunion was all too fast. It was in a church we had never been to and we were surprised at the small turnout. I think some folks got lost. Usually there are 100 people there and I think maybe we might have had 35-40. I sure didn't change how good the food was. Terry took two barbecue chickens he made on the grill. I made Frito Corn Salad, fresh fruit salad, brownies, banana bread and we took two loaves of french bread with us. Aunt Eola had the homemade mac and cheese that was to die for and some blessed soul had a huge container of homemade banana pudding with vanilla wafers and fresh eggs whites whipped and toasted on top in a huge merangue. There was a fabulous feast set out though with all the different dishes folks brought to share.

We raced from there to the airport to drop Mark off, and then home to see our grandson Jonathan. We all went swimming at Grandpa Ben's place and back home again where Terry and Jon grilled hamburgers. Now you know what I gained 12 pounds this summer. Too much food.

There is an inner peace this morning with the quiet in the studio. I do not feel hurried at all despite knowing I have work ahead. Today is Sunday and it should be a day with family spent with the Father-God. It is a day to acknowledge this peace through out the hours and spend it in quiet and rest. It is here as we are comforted by God's embrace of love, we can rest feeling his arms around us and knowing He is watching out. His love enfolds us to be secure and safe.

I pray for you and yours today as I hold you up in prayer that you feel Him surrounding you with his presence. Together we are connected in spirit and truly comforted by his grace.

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 ...
