The Painting: A whimsical piece for the blog that was joyful to paint. This is another small one in this years Equine Series.  The small ones are affordable and fun to collect. The 5 x7 size is easy to frame.

The Thought: This is your time... yes today, this day is your time.  Our birth, our day, our time, is all His. Each of us are here for a purpose, no different than the time spent on this painting today as it was meant to be painted and the joyful colors were there to express the lightness inside of me. (We finished cleaning the studio...pictures will follow this week.)  With the studio clean, I am ready to paint.  It was my time to do this painting.

As you begin your day today, know that this is the day you have starting before you, is to be used for only the best.  God will direct you as it is His day He has given you.  How can you serve Him best today?  Some will wake with a headache not wanting to begin the week. Others may wake still battling the flu or a bad cold.  A select few will wake happily ready to face the new day with it's new challenges.   God knows right where you are and has this day prepared for your good.  Are you ready to accept it and live it for His good?

I hope you will rest in the joyful painting above and that it's many colors will remind you of the many facets of life in every day that are there for you to participate in. It is when you stop participating that things begin to fall apart and depression sinks in.

You are in the right place...right now. If you feel you are not, get up and make changes.

Laurie

Laurie,
I truly see the joy you feel come alive in your paintings! The colors are amazing and light up the room, I am sure. I once saw some wild horses running across the prairie in Montana and that's what I remember when I see the beauty of your work. Your devotional style posts really minister to me. Bless you today.

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 ...
