Christmas Blessings to you and your Family from Pace Studio

From the Christmas Capital of Texas
We wish you a Blessed Christmas as we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus.


This is a reflective time of the year, when you slow down and breathe, and look back at the year. We all have seen happy moments, experiencing joy and laughter, and we all have seen pain, sorrow and even death, losing a loved one. 

Our true trust and belief in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, provides us with His unfailing love, His unending mercy and His forgiveness when we repent and rest in Him. 

If I was painting ‘this year’ I would tie this all into layers of color and overlays of the “best and worst” all meshing and blending to create this “2023 painting”, keeping part of the realism of events and still loosing them to the abstract thoughts that remain.

 In Repentance and Rest… In Quietness and Trust

It is true if you repent of the darker areas of your life, you will find rest in the Lord God. At the same time, it is in this quietness and trust you will find your strength. 

 “My prayer for you is that you will overflow more and more with love for others, and at the same time keep on growing in spiritual knowledge and insight, for I want you always to see clearly the difference between right and wrong, and to be inwardly clean, no one being able to criticize you from now until our Lord returns. May you always be doing those good, kind things that show you are a child of God, for this will bring much praise and glory to the Lord” Philippians 1:9-11

 We wish for you joy in the morning, laughter and love through all your days, spontaneous moments of delight, the true rest found in God, the brightest lights to guide you on your journey, the strength to face fearful moments resting in the Father, and the armor needed to battle what is ahead.  He walks before you and with you and He will never leave you or forsake you. Do not fear.

Share what you can with others, giving of yourself and your gifts and talents. The joy is all around you, just open your eyes.

 Merry Christmas, Laurie and Terry.

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 ...
