Today I have to get tough.  Today I have to wheel my tool box of  paints to warmer areas in the house. I cannot wait any longer to paint out where I have the studio set up. It is way too cold. This morning when I got up to put the dog out I was surprised with 8-10 inches of snow and it is still falling.  He refused to go outside. Last time Terry kept the back porch clear of snow. We went to bed last night with the news we would only see a dusting.  There is 8 inches deep or deeper on my deck outside.  Just wait a few minutes in Texas... and the weather changes.  Pictures tomorrow.

This is true for life. Often we wait on times to change or things to change and we are wasting our precious time that holds infinite possibilities.  We must learn to live in the now and take every thing we can from each possible moment God give us here on earth.  Every day there are infinite possibilities laid before us. Yesterday is gone... past and whether we had joyful times or sorrowful times on the present moment can be used to live right now.

Keep your heart and eyes in the light of God. Choose positive thoughts and actions toward others. Believe in abundance and in harmony for not just your life but the world as well.   Let go of what was and live in what is.

I am going to go wheel my paints into the kitchen to thaw... what are you going to do 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 ...
