By Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Protected by the Father… closing my eyes at night I know I am protected by the Father. From early years the prayer taught was:

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.

Mothers Day 1976

Looking back on it now with full understanding of what the words mean, it is powerful. Mother taught us that prayer along with German prayers she said as a child. (this is not the exact German prayer I learned.)

Müde bin ich, geh zu Ruh, schliesse beide Äuglein zu. Vater, lass die Augen dein, über meinem Bette sein. Hab ich Unrecht Heut getan, sieh es lieber Gott nicht an. Aber Christi Gnad und Jesu Blut, machen allen Schaden gut. Amen.

Mothers Day 2011

Our parents brought us up in a home filled with God’s presence. The praying of morning and evening prayers has stayed with me my entire life. My Mother taught us early in life that our strength came from God and our prayers are directed to Him.

She knew she and dad would not always be with us to protect us, but God could and He would. She taught us to affirm the truth that the Father always goes before us preparing the way. We can follow Him in confidence and know we live in His presence and protection.

Thank you Mom for empowering us for this life’s journey. Happy Mother’s Day.

I love you.

Proverbs 31:2 “Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her.”

Words of my heart, Laurie Pace

Translation of German Prayer:

I'm tired, go to rest, close my eyes to both.
Father, let your eyes, be on my bed.
Have I done wrong Today, God does not see it better.
But Christ's grace and Jesus' blood, make good any damage. Amen.

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. This is available for purchase. Please click here to see pricing and painting.

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...
