The Sun will come out...tomorrow. God will create every tomorrow you have. Stop worrying about it and live your life for Him.

What Tomorrow May Bring
Commission Oil on Canvas  SOLD  by Laurie Pace  

Who Invented Tomorrow?
Laurie & Gracie | Threads of Grace

Yesterday, I shared a painting of a little girl standing at the edge of the ocean, looking toward a horizon she couldn't see beyond.
I called it The Tomorrows.

My friend Gracie and I were discussing the painting and Ecclesiastes 3:11, my thoughts suddenly my brain wandered to the musical Annie.

I said: “Wasn't it Annie who sang about loving tomorrow? but... God Creates it.”
Gracie: “Annie may have sung about tomorrow, but yep, God invented it.”
And suddenly, there it was.
We didn't invent tomorrow. God did.

Think about how much of our lives we spend preparing for tomorrow.

We plan for it, worry about it, and sometimes wish it would hurry up and arrive. Yet none of us has ever created a single tomorrow. And tomorrow isn't a promise that everything will be easy.

Some tomorrows bring joy beyond anything we imagined. Others bring sorrow, loss, and changes we never would have chosen.

The daughter of one of my oldest friends loved that first ocean painting so much that I painted a much larger version for her home. I'm sharing the only photograph I kept of it, still sitting on my easel.

Looking at that little girl facing the vast ocean reminds me how little we can see of what lies ahead.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 tells us:
“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”

We may not understand what tomorrow will bring.
But tomorrow will never arrive before God does.
So, Annie, keep singing.
I'll keep painting.

And I'll keep trusting the One who created tomorrow.

'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...
