Progress on Five Hearts 
30 x 40 inches Mixed Media on Canvas. 

I began to work on collaging papers over the Bible and Narnia pages. This type of work has it's own path and often I have to step back and let it go on its own. 

Please watch each day for progress here OR a new giveaway.  I have everyone that entered for the 12 Days of Christmas and there are five more paintings to give away.  So check back each day. I will list the winners with the 12 Days of Christmas winners.

Mary said:  “My being proclaims the greatness of the Lord, 
my spirit finds joy  in God my savior,  For he has looked upon  
his servant in her lowliness; all ages to come shall  call me blessed.  
God who is mighty  has done great things for me, 
holy is his name; His mercy is from age to age on those who fear him.

My husband and I spend time with our advent wreath doing a reading and a small study each day.  This is the beginning of the third week in advent.  This week is our 'joy' week. We lit a candle for 'hope' each day the first week and 'peace' each day the second week. This is a time of anticipation, one filled with joy, and at the same time with our reading the full realization of the true gift of Jesus to the world.  It is often hard to get past the everyday chaos or sadness that surround us to find the way to the joy of lighting this third candle. So as you light your third candle today, Mary's Candle,  remember to give thanks for all you have been given. No matter what life has brought you, or how busy you are, stop tonight and give thanks for the light we walk in, the freedom to walk there and the joy of 
His love and grace... in His Light and His Love.  

 Your mission is to be content in your life. Give to others.  Give what they need even if you must give a part of what you have. Let go of your anxiety and stay in prayer to God.

 Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your request known to God.  Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

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 ...
