The Painting: I mentioned above this was a commissioned painting for a collector in Missouri and they already own Crossing the Mississippi...and now they wanted one with the color palette of November Days....and here it is.

The Thought: I am late posting today because I have been working. Mom has been helping too and I still have more to do, but in the posting I am going to share a few things before jumping in to my thoughts of the first Sunday in Advent.

First, I have opened a Cafe Press Store to enable you to find affordable gifts with my horses! I chose some favorites from this year and some products to put them on. I did not mark them up much at all to have the artwork. Some have a 99 cent mark up and some have a $2.00 mark up...but I wanted to have something fun for stocking stuffers or for small gifts for friends. If you can't find something you want or IF you want one of your horse purchases on something JUST for you...let me know. Click on the name below.

There are many neat gifts to consider!

Next, note up in the top right corner there is a new REGISTER TO RECEIVE this blog as an email. The old one is just below it. If you are signed up already, please redo it on the new link above on top. It was brought to my attention last week that there were ads that were questionable coming out with my blog. The feedblitz folks wanted a fortune to have the ads taken off. I have a large readership with this blog and simply could not afford to go no ads and pay them $$$$ every month. So I am switching to this new sign up with google, who owns blogger.

Advent... All week I have been reminding you to prepare, and here I am running late. I was in tears before I even hit the kitchen at 5:30 this morning, knowing I still had so much to do to try and be ready for this blog this morning... and I am not ready yet. My mind thought through so many ways to approach Advent this year differently than last. I went through the process of maybe drawing and creating a piece of art each week recorded, or telling the story as Mary lived it, or just really doing in depth into the heart of it all.

One of my most favorite books in the bible is Isaiah. It is in Isaiah we find a mention of the coming birth of Jesus long long before it would occur. Isaiah 7:14, "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel."

How could this be there so far ahead of the actual happening? God spoke to Isaiah and provided him with the knowledge that this would come to pass. Isaiah was a dedicated Prophet who lived close in heart with God. Isaiah was one of the four major prophets in the Old Testament. His prophecies include much about the coming Messiah. For this reason his work is sometimes called 'the fifth Gospel.'

We cannot predict our future or what is going to happen to us or our loved ones. To have such knowledge one would have to be of God and God of him. Open your heart today and listen to the God and what He will share with you for your life.

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 ...
