Wow, found this one in the OLD files from 2006. Moody Blues. It was huge. Probably 3 x 4 ft in size. Pile that paint high... pile that paint even higher.

 I recall thinking that same thought about the hamburger Terry ate last week. We were basically Forks over Knives and somehow he has weaseled more meat into this house as of late. I have lentils today...will have them tomorrow too.  So he is being so helpful last week cooking while I was painting in between his runs up and down the stairs putting in wood flooring. He had bought two pounds of hamburger. ???  There are only two of us and I do not eat hamburger meat.  So he made himself this awesome looking burgers and sauteed mushrooms on the top. Mushrooms I would have eaten.  He bought himself some ciata bread to use as a bun and he was grinning up a storm when he piled that burger on the bun with pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, mayo and ... cheese? Nope he told me he put that INSIDE the hamburger. 

 Somethings are bigger than life. Somethings we have in life are challenges (like this hamburger). What are you piling on in your life that you can actually live without?  Alyson Stanfield, an art coach, helped me accept the things I cannot change and actually change the things I can change. 

 We do not have to 'eat' the whole hamburger. We do not have to 'do it all'.  We do not have to pile our lives full of things that bring us more harm than good.  Be selective. Think about the things you need to let go of. There is time in life to do all you need to do. Do not pile it on.

 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; Ecclesiastes 3:2-6

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 ...
