The Painting: This was unusual as it painted out but I fell in love with it! Email me if it tugs at your heart and mention the name of the painting.

The Thought: Purple Barns. We saw two purple barns on the way back from Bonham yesterday. We drove one route up to Bonham through Commerce and Bailey but there as so much road construction we came home through Paris and Bogata. Made much better time that way (altho mileage was longer) the roads were wonderful and very little traffic.

On the way home is when I spotted the purple barns. I truly have never seen anyone paint a barn purple before... a dark lavender purple, like the sky is at night. The ends of the barns were light forest green. Had there been black and white cows I would have stopped to take a picture...but we were going about 70 mph as we cruised by them.

Purple is my favorite color.

Next on the way home we spotted something else we had never seen before. When you are in the country you see all sorts of different things lying around in pastures. Near us at home is an excavator painted like a giraffe...but what we saw today was even better. There in the middle of this farm field was a large Convair airplane, TP says a 580 or a 440. That is not a small airplane as it holds 44-54 passengers with two row seating. This is what we saw but a picture from the internet of one at the Delta Museum. The picture is linked to the website I found it on....

The plane was just sitting out in the pasture near the highway with a barn behind it. We slowed down for this one. It was a first, especially in East Texas. How many farmers/ranchers have one of these in their field?

Our trip today was full of emotions, laughter, good company and a great visit with my Dad. His Alzheimers is full bloom and his age is catching up with him as he appears much more feeble than my last trip to see him in March. God is good and His love endures forever. My faith grows with each day and the journey I am on as I marvel at His gifts and His sense of humor.

We went sailing at five last night and docked about 8 as the sun was going down. Can't ask for much more than that to end the week. Hopefully the winds will be good this morning and we will sail again.

GOD IS GOOD. All the time GOD IS GOOD.

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 ...
