The excitement has to be building somewhere in your life. If you are not celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, or other things, you have to at least have some holiday spirit rubbing off.  The malls are incredibly packed so we are staying away from those stores... making basic stops at Whole Foods when they open at seven each morning.  Less coughers and sick people out sharing their merries. Most of you get a holiday for sure.   My husband was a mechanic with American Airlines... he worked ALL holidays.  All these years we had Christmas Eve together and we had a late Christmas Day dinner.   With him retired almost every day is a holiday... we are home together and we celebrate the joy of the coming day every morning.  

The cooler weather is crisp and sunny again, although rain is in the forecast today. Makes you want to take a walk or enjoy being outside.  That is what inspired this Filly on the Run painting. Going to the Fletchers Ranch and shooting images of the horses at dawn with the sun rising in the east... the light fog off the ground and the horses stirring out of the barn. Once the sun is up full you can capture wonderful shots of them playing together in the pasture. Can't say I ever saw the cows playing, but the horses do!  What do you enjoy doing when it is sunny crisp and cold?

If you have not picked up a Bible lately, you might want to do it now. Turn to Luke. He really captures the Christmas Story.  In the first verses : 
"Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,  just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.  With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,  so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught."   Luke 1:1-4    
We know that Luke was a learned man and a physician.  We do not know who Theophilus is that he seems to be writing to. I found a few explanations here.   I will share some verses of the Christmas story from today forward.  Prepare your heart.

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 ...

The Marsh... of our lives? Walking with God.

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 The Marsh 6 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   I did two of these paintings about three years ago. They both sold immediately to a Florida Collector. Simple and elegant for a horse painting.  Ephesians 5:1-2 "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma."  One of the biggest challenges in walking with God is trusting Him and not trying to out think Him or to do everything your way. It never works.  The Apostle Paul wrote of his own struggles in Romans 7 .  Romans 7: 22-23 “ So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the ...
