"By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love
for one another." John 13:35

Well, I forgot to take pictures of my swing yesterday, but I did enjoy sitting in it for several hours. I painted out side yesterday using the new little table and an older extra chair. I actually dozed off laying in the swing surrounded by the twitter of my own birds in the house and the birds outside. HUMMM, I will have to tie a string around my finger to remind me to snap some pictures once the sun comes up.

Yesterday I wrote about healing and breathing in God's presence to be restored. Today I am thinking Party Time to celebrate the coming of SPRING! Just sitting in that darn swing relaxing and taking in the breathtaking colors of the flowers in the hanging baskets and the three blooming bushes I have not planted yet...makes me SMILE and sigh with contentment. Today is a good day to remind you to love and to be loved. God Loves You. His love is so rewarding in multiple ways and we all seem to miss much of it in our busy lives. Slow down today and feel His love. It surrounds you everywhere, all the time.

As you open up your eyes and life to this open 24 hr/7 days a week store of God's love, you will fill your life with it's abundance and begin to share it with others. It will be simple, like a fountain overflowing with water...fresh, cool, love giving water.


Celebrate and partake in the fruit of His Love. Celebrate God. Celebrate Life. Celebrate Love.

Laurie

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23

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 and Shelia at the Southlake Lowe's in Appliances

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 law of sin at work within me” I can only speak for mys

Piano Girls

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Girl on Piano Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Our prayers are with the southeastern Gulf coast as a hurricane approaches. We have family and friends in this area. This painting was a more impressionistic piece than the Girl on Piano pieces from 2008-2010.  It is the tilt of the head and the precious lift of the hand with the outer small finger delicately angled. Not quite old enough to be using pedals, her feet are crossed below the bench. Back in the day of my lessons and playing in the late fifties and early sixties, young girls wore dresses. I miss those days. I still prefer dresses over pants today... even my studio jeans.  One of my modern girl on Piano pieces.... "Playing for Papa" These make incredible gifts for the holidays using music that is important to you or to the person receiving the gift. In the midst of commissions right now.  I loved playing for my grandmother and my Dad.  Shop other Av
