 I chose this painting from my store, so if you like it click it. It is on sale for $399.  It will require a frame, it is painted on a panel with beautiful thick paint.  The story felt when being painted, was one of finally feeling at 'home' in the house we moved to two and a half years ago.  It always takes a period of time to adjust to a new place and we were really feeling the joy when I painted this one.  
I love this quote I found so very much, I may have to use it in my newsletter.

  "Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action."  Mother Teresa


With the latest changes here at our house this spoke volumes to me.  As you know from my posts things have changed in our lives. Our daughter and her family are now living with us. We have made our first week together and no one has cried or lost it. I know both Terry and I are exhausted.  We are exhausted with being busy, which is actually good for us.  Lady L, the almost five month old, is totally spoiled by having us nearby. She has wrapped her 'Bampa' around her finger and she is now wrapped in his heart. She is redefining for me "falling in love".  You cannot help being taken in by her huge smiles and flirty eyes.  
Not much has changed in our routine in the early hours... we wake up and watch the news in bed with coffee for him and coconut water for me.  By seven thirty we are in the kitchen preparing our meal and it is easy to prepare something for Lady L at the same time.  

 Their family has found the biggest change for them is sitting at the table together as a family and sharing the thanks to God, the food and the companionship.  

Living day by day with the challenges we face, seeking God through prayer, adoration and petition, we make our way 'in love' for the greater good.

 Blessings, Laurie

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 ...
