The Thought:  If you ask me what I did this weekend, I am not sure I could answer.  Somehow the days are flying by.  I do remember Saturday our daughter slept in past noon. I had so many errands to run and didn't get to them waiting and worrying a bit... but she bounced out of bed scaring herself that she slept so late.  She scurried around to get her chores done and her wash started. When Dad got home we left for errands topping off the evening with a wonderful "Dad-made" hamburger... which everyone loves here.

As I was dusting on Saturday, taking the time to individually dust each item on each surface I allowed myself the time to appreciate and give thanks for the memories attached to it and acknowledging the joy it brings to making our house a home. Sometimes I think we collect things and don't think about it again.

During our lifetimes we explore many paths and accumulate many memories and take on lots of burdens at the same time.  Some of us assume  many roles in our lifetime like mother, sister, daughter, artist, teacher, etc.  Our roles are not only inside our family but reach out into our community as well. God has a mission for us in each of those rolls and it is up to us to carry it through.  Just like in my dusting of my treasures, God treasures each of us individually and has gifts and journeys for each of us. We are His instrument  to channel good to others around us.


We are an expression of His love at all times.  Take a moment and think of the "treasured" people in your life.

'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...
