FOR shopping today, Click on the name below for some fabulous with my painted ponies on them.
Try out a new mouse pad, a wonderful mug for coffee or hot tea, or my favorite, the bags! There are tote bags, beach bags and just junk bags. I put images on front and back of all of them.  I already own
several of them and use them all the time. They wash great too.

There are many neat gifts to consider!


The Painting:  I have just finished this painting and will be using the image on my Christmas Cards.  Yes I am late, but I have high hopes...maybe New Years Cards?  I was inspired by the falling snow outside yesterday...yes, Dallas had snow but nothing stuck...just flurries and it was beautiful.  I was not used to driving in the snow and having it fall into the front of the windshield...that was weird while driving.


The Thought:   Much has been rolling around in my mind the past 24 hours and inspired by a quote sent by a friend. I may share more on that tomorrow, but right now I am in a study reflect mode as I stay in constant conversation with God realizing again how much I have tried to control things that I should not be controlling.  As long as I am at the reins on this horse, it will go the direction I prefer and not the direction God intends... altho I do believe He tends to draw that horse a bit on to a different path, trying to save me from myself and going over a cliff.

It is truly not difficult to over think a situation and convince ourselves that we must control something.  I am the world's best at that practice. It is easy. I am sure you do it daily as well.  As you make decisions today, ask God first and stop and reflect and listen.  That is what I will be doing today, listening.

My dear friend, you are one with God every moment of the day.  You belong to Him. You are never alone, even in your darkest most desperate moment.  The Spirit is within you at all times, guiding and protecting you. The Spirit gives you strength.

His Peace Today...to you. His strength supports 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 ...
