“We are who we are, be­cause of those we choose to love and be­cause of those who love us.” 
― Kate Mosse, The Winter Ghosts

 This beauty was painted the week before Christmas a few years ago and is by far in the top ten of my favorite pieces. 24 x 30 and framed... and it is available HERE. 

 Everyday social media, television and movies portray love as a feeling. It is something that ranks at the top of our list.  So is love a feeling that can be controlled?  I am thinking it is a feeling that is responded to. If you love someone that love is unconditional and not controlled by you or your actions.  It is the love we feel that we respond to with actions, be it from our spouse, our family, our children or a friend. Love is choice for us to respond to. God CHOSE to love us. We have a choice how to respond to Him. IF you feel that love, know that love and accept that love in your heart, then your actions will be filled with love in your life with others.  Love is apart of God's Spirit and He shares it with us, but are we accepting it in our lives? How are you responding?

 God is our only unfailing source of love.

 "I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,  may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,  and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." Ephesians 3:16-19

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 ...
