The Painting: This was painted for a special friend and it has been a journey in itself!  I am posting it out to her today and we will celebrate at it's arrival.


The Thought:  Boxes surround us.  We are staying the course and fighting the battle of time.  Terry spent three hours partially grooming dogs and realized his scissors were packed.  I think it is avoidance disorder. He does not want to face the garage and he has only 48 hours left and the movers will be here.  I finished up the kitchen. I need to order one more group of Book Boxes and some more for the garage that he has not even started.  Won't know how many to get because he has not started.


He is a sweetheart.  He told me three days ago I had not seen him in action and he was going to be so organized I would not recognize him.  Honestly I love him too much to believe that he can ever quite get there.  It just isn't his nature and he would not be the man I love if he was organized.  He comes by it honestly.  I am praying something kicks in today so the garage will begin to be packed. 

I have to return the boxes to Time Warner Cable and go the post office tomorrow to drop Rayette's painting off to her.  Then home to pack pack pack.


As we get into the move, do not expect much on Monday, Tuesday and maybe Wednesday. It might only be a short HI and a painting of sorts.  The movers came yesterday and told us it was an overnight move. UGH...the cost doubled.

I pray your weekend is filled with the beauty and peace of the celebration of Christ's Resurrection.

"Now as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside and said to them, "We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will turn him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!”- Matthew 20: 17-19

i liked your story. It touched me deeply. Especially the part about Terry and is disorder but he is loved despite that and would not be the same if he changed. That was beautiful. Your painting is beautiful too. I love your colors.

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 ...
