Unfolding

 UNFOLDING  
8 x 8 inches  Oils on Cradled Panel    
  

Unfolding... each day presents us with a new start and hope for the day.  It unfolds before us. Here in the studio... it is a might be slower than it was in 2022. In most of 2023, I was between home and Dallas with my Mom and most of you know she passed late last year. 

We never know what the day will bring as it unfolds. This morning in my reading... Ephesians 1:7 "In whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace."

And from my Daily Streams "There is no way of learning faith except by trial. It is God’s school of faith, and it is far better for us to learn to trust God than to enjoy life."

If you approach this day and each new day knowing God’s infinite wisdom and wealth is enough for each of us to bloom and grow, especially with his inexhaustible supply of love, compassion, generosity and grace. Your day will unfold with bounty from Him. The bounty could be trials, but He is right there with you and me. The trials may take months or years, but as we walk this journey with Him, our strength grows through the experiences. 

He is ever giving if your heart is in the right place and is open to receive Him. Never will He fail you, or fail me. He knows the beginning, the middle and the end of our lives before we were even conceived. He is a giving God if you are centered in him. He will keep nothing from you... the good, the bad, or the painful.  He is not one to measure out the giving... He is literally there with you and me always.  From my reading from Inspirations it said as I paraphrase, "He washes us in a revitalizing downpour of Grace." 

Not sure about you, but I seek His grace throughout the day and the night.

Through His love for us, He wants us to love others. Through His giving to us, He wants us to give to others. Through His forgiveness, He wants us to forgive others. 

Love will beget love and grace begets grace and God certainly has a never ending supply to go around to all of us daily. Open your heart and unfold your arms to receive Him.

'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...

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...
