The Painting: Fun with an Appaloosa... color and striking compliments.  Gorgeous Oil Painting on Stretched.
The Thought:  Spots...I guess we all have them. We have rough spots, smooth spots and colorful spots...both on our bodies and in our lives.   Crystal always tells me that the brains of the appaloosa and the dalmatian are similar and lacking some genetic powers of smart...but I find that hard to believe. I have never tried to look it up... but I know they both have powerful spots.

When I paint my Appy's I love having fun with my colors and blending to create that fresh look of spontaneity.  Our 'spots' in life are the things that keep our life from being smooth all the time.  They can be bright spots or dismal spots. They are often unplanned spots of things we could not predict happening to us in our lives.  Our plans are never His plans and we tend to get panicky when we are free falling and not able to control what is happening.  That is a free falling spot in life.

I know for a fact though, what ever 'SPOT' I am in,  God is there with me, protecting, guiding and giving me the strength I need to walk the walk through that 'spot' in life.

What color are your spots today?  God has a wonderful sense of humor.

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 ...
