The Painting:   I have been cleaning out my studio for three days on and off...of course only two hours on Friday and all day yesterday and some this morning already. Hope to mop the floors.  It almost sounds empty in here.. weird.  I found this prepainted canvas with wonderful mauves,blues and pinks like you see in the sky at sunset as the sun departs the sky and the moon wanes overhead between the sunset clouds.... peaking out early.  We saw those last night on the way home from eating hamburgers...   So as I painted on my newly cleared off table... this came to the top with soft colors showing well used muscles of an ancient horse from my dreams.  He is gorgeous. He is the Warrior of Old.


The Thought:   One of my favorite episodes (and I rarely watch TV..but Terry found Two and a Half Men on TV at 6:30 in the evenings during the week.... and we laugh till we cry.) in Two and a Half Men is when Charlie is teaching young Jake, about 12 years old... how to cover everything with the words,  "I understand."  The entire episode keeps you in stitches as you begin to realize you can use that phrase almost 99.9 percent of the time and it works and people think you are wonderful.

"I understand."

So now days around our house we have taught Crystal not to always say, "I am sorry" but to say, "I understand".  You know, it truly works and it so much better for all of us.

"I understand."

Normally when folks are down and under pressure we say, "I am sorry."   NADA GOOD.  Next time say, "I understand."  The empathy in those two words is huge.  So many times we are all under pressures that no one truly could identify with, but to hear someone say, "I understand" breaks down so many barriers and it sends out caring love to the person you say it to... you are identifying with them at their level.

Know my friend, God knows the hidden thoughts of your heart right now. He knows your circumstances from His view and that is all encompassing. He also knows how you feel.  God knows you best and he does understand...truly understands.

Trust in Him this day ..... do you understand? I understand.

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 ...
