Rest and Peace

What do you associate these words with?  Some folks might laugh and say death.  No wait, that is Rest in Peace.  You do not have to get so extreme to get rest and peace or even rest in peace. 

God offers that peace to us every single second of the day.  It is waiting to be inhaled in a deep breath and held and slowly expelled.  It is in the small humming bird on the feeder or the bee on the rose.  This simple peace passes all understanding all right... it passes over our heads and lives 98% of the day.

The challenge for you and me my friend is to figure out how to shake off all the blinders and empty your pockets of the rocks you carry. Then start breathing slow deep breaths. Refocus your mind and let go of ALL of your thoughts. Float on the peace and feel the rest.

In prayer when you ask for things, give thanks and know that it will be given. You will not always see the results as you think you should but God is working. Go back this weekend and allow Sunday to be a pure day of peace and rest.  Release ALL the struggles of the week or even the year. Do not worry about the good missing from your life.  You are so concentrated on what is missing, you can no longer see what you have.

You will find the abundance in peace as you rest. Your highest good is on its way to you right now. Prepare for this next Sunday....look forward to it like you do Christmas or family gatherings. Every day is the Lord's Day... every day you should experience this peace and rest, but start small if you must and lets aim for next Sunday. This gives you a few days to prepare and make it a habit.  Then spread some of that same stillness into every day.

Mixed Media Collage Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Justus Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Horse Collage Fall 2013  12 x 18 inches Mixed Media on Canvas.  This was an intentional paint to imitate one of the 100 ponies I did in 2012. That poor little 8 x 10 pony was loved by a company to do very large prints and it was not here for me to even use to scan... so I created something with the same heart, a kindred spirit. The underlays are pages from a western book and then torn papers of different varieties were added along with stains of paint and purposeful areas of paint.  This would not be a painting I would do today, but the goal was to capture the spirit of the first painting.

EXHAUSTED Woman Figurative Oil Painting, Art Deco Painting, Art Abstract Painting, Women in Kitchen Oil Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

'Exhausted' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Website   Thinking ahead to the Thanksgiving celebration next week, I remembered back to those previous dinners that I cooked, served, ate quickly, and cleaned up.  This is how I felt.  It is probably strange...even for me but I had the best fun sketching it out and painting it. We lost another dear family member this week. She has celebrated her 'continuation' day and is now with her mom and dad and her other cousins.  She leaves behind a family that will always celebrate her gentleness.  My aunt was special to all of us. She loved each of us dearly for who we were and was always ready with a hug or a 'good job'.    My memories are of breakfast pastries smeared with butter on top. It was not like they were not sweet enough as they were, but at her small kitch...

Sleeping Cowboy . Ernest Hemingway . Sunday, a day of rest . Western Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2019 Sleeping Cowboy Commissioned Painting for one of our oldest friends. 2004  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW MY BLOG  ON INSTAGRAM     @lauriepaceblog Available Paintings by Laurie Pace          “I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” Ernest Hemingway  I really enjoyed painting this scene. It was restful to me as the artist  and loved by our friends.  Sunday is the day of rest. I smiled when I found this in archives and thought it perfect for this day.  If you live in Texas you know that we still have 'rules' about not selling liquor before noon.  If you live in Texas and are in your late thirties and up, you might even remember Blue Laws.   Stores were simply NOT open...
