"I say this for your own benefit, not to put any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and unhindered devotion to the Lord." 1 Corinthians 7:35

Okay I had to get some pink flamingos out of my system. The Florida Tourist folks have a WONDERFUL commercial out about visiting the state and this scene with thousands of pink flamingos flashes by on a soft yellow background.... and wow. Drove me crazy the first time I saw it... at dinner during the news. Then again the next night and the next night and by golly I had to paint pink Flamingos. Consider yourself PINKED. I had fun painting it and probably no one wants to buy pink flamingos....but if you do, contact me! Meanwhile it will hang in my garden room and I will sit back with a cool glass of water and have dreams of Florida where I spent my honeymoon.

Sitting back to dream on my flamingos reminds me that we each have the choice to determine how we view the world with all its complexities. It is a mini vacation staring at my pink babies. The real world is fraught with difficulties and pain. Many times if you are like me, you wonder how anything positive could come out of some of the worst situations...and then remember that anything is possible with God. His spirit is in every situation, every person and every circumstance.

Turning into Him provides you with pure energy and the knowledge you will never be forgotten or abandon by Him, as He is constant. Quiet your racing thoughts and listen. Divine Order, HIS divine order is moving through you right now.

Seek your balance today.... in Him.

Laurie

Hi Laurie. I love your pink flamingos. Flamingos are at the same time graceful and comical...kind of like giraffes. They're an under appreciated bird. On behalf of the flamingo-lovers of the world, thank you.

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 ...
