A Summer's Day
Oil on Canvas  Gifted  by Laurie Pace  Dec 2024

This precious painting was one I started 11 years ago. I came across it penciled on my canvas and started working on it two months ago. It was a Christmas gift to her parents.

John 16:33  “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” 

I chose this verse to help us remember what Christmas is truly about. It was not just about Jesus' birth, but it is about our salvation through his birth, life and death here on earth as He was Risen from the dead after dying on the cross for our sins.  Jesus has overcome the world. 

It is time to reflect and recognize the true blessings of God, which of course include the birth, life and death of His son, allowing our salvation through Him. The world is a fallen place and only through Jesus may we have the promise of a new life, to be free from the bondage of our sins. It is God's mercy, love, and grace for us that build our faith through our lives with hope for what is to be.  

As we pass into the New Year next week, maybe you should look back at the year of 2024 and count your blessings. Those blessings come from Him through those around you in your life.  We are taught from an early age to keep a grateful heart.  I would suggest over the next few days till New Years, make a list and give thanks.

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 ...
