"In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:16

Yesterday Neal Donald Walsh spoke of "that is does not good to think in any way negatively about yourself. Not even a little good."

Often when I look in the mirror in the morning, like this morning... at 5:00 am, I first notice my eyes and know how they are begging me to climb back into bed. Then I travel down to see the relaxed posture of "Just out of Bed".... and I stand up a bit taller as I stretch out my muscles. Dr Oz on Oprah always addresses the need to stretch as you get up every morning. Makes moving easier. (Okay so you youngsters out there under the age of fifty have absolutely no clue, ... but one day you will.) What a mess with tangled hair and swollen eyes.....the saggy reflection I see is not what I feel. (I would like to say I feel 30, but I am way smarter now than I was then, so let's say I feel like I am forty.)

The mirror reflects not only our physical appearance but our spiritual appearance as well....look
into your eyes.

Breathing deeply and holding air tightly inside, I stretch my arms up trying to reach the 16 ft ceiling. I feel the fullness of the air in my lungs expanding and my body begins to feel alive. The sleepy grouchy look from the mirror fades as I praise God for the new day. My reflection boasts a new glow of being ready to live and give.

Each day we have the uncanny ability to emotionally beat ourselves up. It could be the reflection in the mirror; it could be the cookies we are hiding in the cabinet; it could be something said in conversation the day before. Most of us beat ourselves up over and over again not feeling worthy. Neale suggests our negative thoughts could fill more than one lifetime.

I am suggesting the next time you look in the mirror you see the God-child within. As you embrace His spirit working through you, others will see it as well. Allow your own inner spiritual light out to shine on others. We are indeed kindred spirits....

Shine on in the Spirit of God,

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 ...
