The Painting:  There is a spirit in this small one, a definite uniqueness that captures your eye immediately.  I am not sure if this is color induced or the actual painted eye of the horse.

The Thought:   Today Justin and Tara were over to share wedding book ideas and plans for the wedding and rehearsal dinner. Everything so far is looking fabulous but I had no doubts on this as Tara is VERY organized!  I was impressed with the immediate ability to pull up lists, food menus, flowers, cakes etc...and yes we were invited to the cake testing!   More issues with the diet...may have to say no.  Jonathan was with them so we got to have some grandson time too.

Stacey and Larry were over today as well bringing little Tink with them. Mom came over so she could see everyone. TINK IS TAKING STEPS... woaw...watch out as she will be walking with in the next week or two.  She is the apple of her Bampa's eye and the echo of her Oma's heartbeat.  We thank God every day several times a day for this blessed child in our lives.

Tink has her uniqueness as well.  Not sure if it those deep blue eyes or that rosebud mouth or the way she borrows one of her mom's classic faces when you talk to her and she is batting those eyelashes at you, but we know God created a blessing in this baby for our family.

You too are a unique creation, one of a kind from God.  You-niquely Yours.  That is one of my class lessons in art.  Every heartbeat, every hair on your head, every unique sound from your accent in your voice is all you-niquely yours.  Your fingerprint and footprint cannot be duplicated.  No one else matches you or has your exact combination of gifts.  God has taken the genes that were combined to His mixture and made the perfect you.

We know as we look around that God loves both variety and all kinds of shapes and sizes. He definitely shows a sense of creativity with each of us. In creating you, He made you for a purpose. You are not here by accident just breathing and taking up space.  You were made for a reason. With your creation came Spiritual gifts and a heart.  Your spiritual gifts are to be used to serve others.  Your heart is what will drive you and motivate you.  Everyone has different hearts and every one is motivated and works in a different way.  God will put the right desires in your heart if you ask Him.

He gave you that unique personality. That would be the way YOU act, feel and think. The root of your personality is your thought life.  I remember that from confirmation years ago.  Proverbs 4:23 "Your life is shaped by your thoughts." God uses experiences in our lives to work for His good. Those experiences help shape us into who we are today.  He prepares us to go out to help others. The things we bring on ourselves, He takes the time to see us through because if we don't make mistakes, we never learn.

So no matter what today brings... it is developing who you are today and what you will do tomorrow.

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 ...
