The Painting:  Something about a journey sinks in with this painting.  The roughness of the terrain beneath the hooves speaks of unpredictable ground;  the background also uncertain as to sky or mountains, leaving much up to the observer. I rather enjoyed my journey as I painted it.

The Thought:  The painting reflects my thought as I realize how uncertain I am of the wheres and whys of both today and tomorrow.  The steady hand of the Lord in my life is what maintains my sanity.

I have found myself falling asleep at night with my prayer beads in my hand.  Last night I looped it twice around my wrist and when I was jostled awake by Terry's snoring, I had them in hand and pulled them off. Circling around I begin praying using the ACTS method on the four groups of seven.  Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication.  In the early hours of 2 a.m. I normally cannot make it around the circle. When I am wide awake and praying, the circling takes 30-45 minutes to make the circle. They bring great comfort to me at all hours.

I had misplaced my original set given to me by a friend and ordered a new set for myself and Crystal from  Inner Light.   Nancy is a wonder to work with, especially with my artistic wants and needs. Crystals is done in beautiful greens and turquoise...and Nancy did mine in something called Jasper beads I believe and they have all the beautiful earth tones I wanted.  Since getting them last week, it gives a deeper purpose as I pray because of the hands on effect with my mind. (That is the left side of my brain!)  I use them three to four times a day and my prayer time has increased as has my focus.

Focus today on those you need to pray for who many not be able to pray for themselves. There are many in our lives battling cancer, Alzheimers, diabetes, unemployment, divorce, alcohol, drugs, loneliness etc....

Remember when you pray to give thanks for the many bounties we do have with our food, shelter, love, family, friends, the soil of the earth, the song of the birds, the fresh water, the cover of the sky with the sun and moon, etc.

Adoration, praise and thanks to our Father who cares for each of us.

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 ...
