 Contentment

Look around you. Everyone has work or duties each day, and no one has the same work. To you or me, we may think someone else has ‘greater work’ than we do. Created by our Father, we each have our own set of gifts woven straight in our DNA. We each have a part to do, and no one else can do our part…we must do it. 

Some have made the commitment to God without holding back, and those have soon found they live contented without any reserve,  for they live abiding with Him and seeking only what He wills, and they desire to do for Him whatever He desires them to do. They live a simple life without worry or being over worked, because they have chosen to be lead by what God has provided. In this state they find fullness with what is given. In our wack-a-day world this is unheard of. 

We all want a sense of peace each day, and a sense of completion to what we do. For me, it took over 70 years to get here where I realized over the last two months even more … I have zero control. My worry zone was always maxed out trying to control things. You have to stop. You have created a massive bad habit. If you want to grow in His grace, to have true knowledge of our Father and spiritual things, you have to start unpacking your life from all the “added” stress you have grown in place. Once the layers fall away, your life will be effortless in many ways. As you grow in these new ways, the rest and peace will fill your heart and your home. You will have a thirst for deeper knowledge. 

May God continue to provide the sun and showers you need. May His unfailing love and perfect words stay with you to comfort and strengthen you through these new changes in your life. May we all live more worthy and purposeful. Continue to bring light to us and show us the way.


Receive us each now into Your care for the night ahead. Spread over each of us the sheltering wings of Your love to keep us safe and allow us the peace to sleep as we rest in this falling night.  It is the close of this day, and time to seal this day shut, never to see it or live it again.

Mixed Media Collage Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Justus Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Horse Collage Fall 2013  12 x 18 inches Mixed Media on Canvas.  This was an intentional paint to imitate one of the 100 ponies I did in 2012. That poor little 8 x 10 pony was loved by a company to do very large prints and it was not here for me to even use to scan... so I created something with the same heart, a kindred spirit. The underlays are pages from a western book and then torn papers of different varieties were added along with stains of paint and purposeful areas of paint.  This would not be a painting I would do today, but the goal was to capture the spirit of the first painting.

EXHAUSTED Woman Figurative Oil Painting, Art Deco Painting, Art Abstract Painting, Women in Kitchen Oil Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

'Exhausted' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Website   Thinking ahead to the Thanksgiving celebration next week, I remembered back to those previous dinners that I cooked, served, ate quickly, and cleaned up.  This is how I felt.  It is probably strange...even for me but I had the best fun sketching it out and painting it. We lost another dear family member this week. She has celebrated her 'continuation' day and is now with her mom and dad and her other cousins.  She leaves behind a family that will always celebrate her gentleness.  My aunt was special to all of us. She loved each of us dearly for who we were and was always ready with a hug or a 'good job'.    My memories are of breakfast pastries smeared with butter on top. It was not like they were not sweet enough as they were, but at her small kitch...

Sleeping Cowboy . Ernest Hemingway . Sunday, a day of rest . Western Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2019 Sleeping Cowboy Commissioned Painting for one of our oldest friends. 2004  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW MY BLOG  ON INSTAGRAM     @lauriepaceblog Available Paintings by Laurie Pace          “I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” Ernest Hemingway  I really enjoyed painting this scene. It was restful to me as the artist  and loved by our friends.  Sunday is the day of rest. I smiled when I found this in archives and thought it perfect for this day.  If you live in Texas you know that we still have 'rules' about not selling liquor before noon.  If you live in Texas and are in your late thirties and up, you might even remember Blue Laws.   Stores were simply NOT open...
