Wednesday is here already! My day is already laid out before it starts but that is okay. God is in charge and I trust in the path he has ahead for me.

I immediately am asking prayer for my sister-in-law's mother, Sharon. I cannot share much as I only have sketchy information, but she is in intensive care following a pretty bad car accident late yesterday.

From one minute to the next we never know what is unfolding in our lives. We can only live for this moment right now and trust in Him to know what is in the path ahead. There were always be obstacles and challeng. Some will be tougher than others. That is where I am today as many of you, in a crossroads of insecurity not knowing what will unfold with this recession and our lives for the future. Layoffs are happening in all companies. American Airlines is reported a huge loss for third quarter. That affects us.

The bible tells us not to worry about those things. One of my favorite chapters in the bible is Matthew 6. I added a link for those of you that do not have a bible handy. It covers several important things in our lives to reflect on, but today I am looking at verses 25-34. Worry cannot add anything to our lives. It will not solve anything, it will not cure anyone, it will not mend anything, it will not add anything to your life in any way. Medical study has proven it only takes away from your life... it causes depression and reduces your life span and can lead to heart attacks etc.

It is our responsibility to help each other through the times of worry. I imagine those first fleeting thoughts of worry are okay and are actually useful as you can turn to God in prayer and refocus on something else. Sometimes Worry is like Fear... a little goes a long way, but do not allow it to eat up your life and consume your everyday. Leave that to our Father. He knows what we need before we know what we need. We are precious to Him, is He precious to you?

Grace, Laurie


"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:33-34.

Mixed Media Collage Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Justus Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Horse Collage Fall 2013  12 x 18 inches Mixed Media on Canvas.  This was an intentional paint to imitate one of the 100 ponies I did in 2012. That poor little 8 x 10 pony was loved by a company to do very large prints and it was not here for me to even use to scan... so I created something with the same heart, a kindred spirit. The underlays are pages from a western book and then torn papers of different varieties were added along with stains of paint and purposeful areas of paint.  This would not be a painting I would do today, but the goal was to capture the spirit of the first painting.

EXHAUSTED Woman Figurative Oil Painting, Art Deco Painting, Art Abstract Painting, Women in Kitchen Oil Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

'Exhausted' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Website   Thinking ahead to the Thanksgiving celebration next week, I remembered back to those previous dinners that I cooked, served, ate quickly, and cleaned up.  This is how I felt.  It is probably strange...even for me but I had the best fun sketching it out and painting it. We lost another dear family member this week. She has celebrated her 'continuation' day and is now with her mom and dad and her other cousins.  She leaves behind a family that will always celebrate her gentleness.  My aunt was special to all of us. She loved each of us dearly for who we were and was always ready with a hug or a 'good job'.    My memories are of breakfast pastries smeared with butter on top. It was not like they were not sweet enough as they were, but at her small kitch...

Sleeping Cowboy . Ernest Hemingway . Sunday, a day of rest . Western Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2019 Sleeping Cowboy Commissioned Painting for one of our oldest friends. 2004  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW MY BLOG  ON INSTAGRAM     @lauriepaceblog Available Paintings by Laurie Pace          “I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” Ernest Hemingway  I really enjoyed painting this scene. It was restful to me as the artist  and loved by our friends.  Sunday is the day of rest. I smiled when I found this in archives and thought it perfect for this day.  If you live in Texas you know that we still have 'rules' about not selling liquor before noon.  If you live in Texas and are in your late thirties and up, you might even remember Blue Laws.   Stores were simply NOT open...
