TREASURES BY THE SEA Children Portrait Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace

24 x 36

SOLD, Commission work.


"Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed him." Matthew 26:49

Are you a chameleon? Do you act differently around different people? I know my kids do. When the eldest is with his friends he is WAY different than when he is with us. Same with the youngest son. Only our daughter in the middle stays the course true to who she is all the time.

If you change yourself daily to be what others want or what you think they want, then you are a chameleon. We are all suppose to change and grow in life...that is part of our journey. But changing back and forth every day from one personality to another depending on who you are with, is not healthy.

Are you happier with one group of friends over another? Have you examined the why?

God created you as you are and it is time you begin to like who you are. The positive parts and the negative parts. The most important thing is to remember to be the you that you really want to be. Encourage positive habits and outlooks and day by day you will strengthen the inner you.

Let the real you shine today!

Laurie

"Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, "Surely not I, Rabbi?" Jesus answered, "Yes, it is you." Matthew 26:25

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 ...
