----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The only ghost that lives in this home is the Holy Ghost.

 I skipped posting a painting for Halloween, but I am posting the 'art' of carving.  I normally do not post on Mondays but had this photo from a few years ago and I love it.  We usually have a pumpkin carving or a GOURD party, Bring your own Gourd.... guests brought their favorite gourds and some brought little jigsaws to use on them.  It is always fun and Terry cooks up the best chili. Could not do it this year as we have had zero time to work on the house and the backyard taking care of baby Noah. 

 When I think of the Holy Ghost for me... I believe that is the part of God that lives inside of me spiritually.  God is everywhere... and the spirit of the Holy Ghost is here all the time inside my body, heart and mind.  This presence is felt throughout the day and night. God has always been generous with His love and gifts.  For Terry and I, we celebrate His Word each day and make it the thread that creates the fabric of our lives. Each day I read a bit from different areas and spend time in the book as a whole grasping the overall feeling and not just 'grabbing a verse'. 

 I was recently reading in the book of Philemon.  I cannot honestly say I have been there often, but in my new studies I am discovering a width and depth to His Word that I have never known. The theme of this book is forgiveness and reconciliation. Paul writes from jail reaching out to us. Carrying on with issues and arguments is nothing but a drain to everyone.  Wasted energy.  

 Draw on the Holy Spirit within you today to bring you comfort as well as guidance throughout the day. Think about things you have done that might need to seek forgiveness from someone, and for things you might forgive others of doing to you.

 Philemon 1:8  "Therefore, altho I have the full right in Christ to order you to do what is proper, my boldness comes through Christ Jesus."

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 ...
