Can you believe it is already 9-10 days into December?  Can you believe Christmas is 15 days or roughly two weeks from now and New Years is 21 days away?

This is the second week in Advent and it is the week of Peace. Hope was the first week in advent.  I read the absolutely best explanation about the second week of advent from Bible Study Tools  and it truly has given me a path for this week. Actually for LIFE. 

“‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts.” (Zechariah 4:6)

We all ask for peace in our lives. We wish things would settle down and some quiet could come with it. The outside world seems to be running amuck and grocery prices rise and gas cost is going up... I don't know. How does peace fit in to our lives these days?

I picked up from that link above... that while Shalom means peace, it means peace in you not around you. People who have "Shalom" with God have protection and blessing from the inside out.  Peace starts inside of you, not outside of you.  As you make a covenant with God, He provides peace and protection as long as you do not “turn to folly", meaning doing bad things. Your peace  comes  straight from your beliefs in the divinity and Resurrection of Jesus.  You have to give up control to find peace. You have to give up worry to have peace.  There is a wonderful Prayer for this week of advent in the link above.

In less that two days... much has shifted and opened in my heart to have the true peace we all long for. Let everything go and rest in Him. 

My calendars are available at Magcloud for my Horse paintings and for my photography of Flowers. Go to my website and there is a link on the front page. Or if you are on a computer... look to the side column right at the top. 


Shalom Aleichem שָׁלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם

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. This is available for purchase. Please click here  to see pricing and painting. Laurie Pace A Texas Artist Pace Studio  Graphics One Design My Blog          My Website          Gicl...

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...
