WRITE ME when you open your package Christmas morning.



Yesterday we woke to the sleet/snow and by mid morning we were back out heading for Fed-ex. We have one more Fed Ex trip tomorrow and I pray the packages make it on time! I sent a huge one off to Italy yesterday, and one to Santa Fe NM. Still need to send one up to the east coast and one to Georgia.... Sorry I can't divulge more on the painting above... I am way excited on this one. There are actually several kind spouses that ordered work for their husband/wife. It is thrilling to be part of this! I want shared pictures for sure.

Jumping off into the thought scrambling in my head and I am NOT sure where it is going, I will ask simply, "What lies ahead?" Is the thought referring to the new year or to what God has ahead for us, or maybe both? It is in my mind stretching around right now getting a grasp on direction with this thought. Yes Kathy, I am late in posting!

Do you give space in your life to God? If you do not, you will often find Him making space for Himself in your life. I do not want to suggest this to be a happy or sad experience because He uses what He must to get our attention. Unfortunately for most of us, we have to experience something several times before we learn what we are to learn from it. No different than a child in school being taught vocabulary words. The average child has to use it, see, and write it at least 8-10 times before the words becomes theirs. I am definitely on board to say I do NOT want to be taught the same life lesson 8-10 times before I "get it". Although I do have some family members that never seem to get it. In the past I worried for them constantly appealing to God, but recently I realize I had to let go and let God work on them. God knows my heart. I have enough in my own life I need to work on.

God has called each of us to do things in our life time. There are challenges that accompany this work, often times making it difficult to be faithful to fulfill what He wants us to do. I would hazard a guess to think we are our own roadblocks 95% of the time. We simple to do not give Him space to work in our lives.

In this Christmas season, be refreshed and restored in Him. Give Him space in your life. Take time right now and visit with Him. There is something He needs you to do today. What lies ahead in your day? Elizabeth and Mary were both surprised with some changes in their lives. And those changes affected the world forever. God has something for you too. Open your heart and make a difference in what lies ahead.

Here are the photos I took of our snow on the road yesterday!



Joy and Abundance are yours, lift up your heart to Him and receive what He has to give.

Laurie

“But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” Matthew 1:20-21

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...
