No Outlet

Saw this on our walk and it trigger some thoughts in my mind. Not sure how it all connects but in my mind I was thinking about life... their is no way out (outlet) of 'cheating death'. We are all born and we all die.  The second sign 'Residents and Guests Vehicles Only' brought into focus that if you want to go past this sign... past death into God's kingdom, you must indeed be a resident or guest living with Him in this life. (Terry says we are all guests on this earth, just passing through.)   The sign loomed before us on the walk forbidding in a sense and alarming you with it's warning....yet just beyond it beckoned light and beauty on our walk. The lane ends about a quarter to a half mile further down where it ends up in a private drive which has a gorgeous view of this point on the lake. 



Without the hope of our Father in our lives to care for us daily, I would become like this plant.. with out life and purpose, drying and dying in the heat of life experiences.
 


I would much rather bloom and grow in His light welcoming the beauty of life here on earth and looking beyond to heaven.

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...
