Everything is a Blessing, Look for the Light.



There are times things look bleak.
There are times people get sick and die.
There are times you may lose your job or cannot pay a bill.
There are times your house may burn down.
There are times your spouse may leave you.
While it may be hard to believe, all of these things will result in blessings.

On The Run at Sunrise?

Always on the run?

Always worried things are catching up to you and you have to run faster.



Early morning we start out on a slow pace...

Looking around and taking in our surroundings.

The sun has broken through with morning light and we are newly awakened to the day.

We begin our day and seem to fall right in line behind others, following their path and their way.


It may not even be the direction we are suppose to be traveling, but it seems safe, others are doing it too.  We stay sheltered and hidden in the shadows hoping no one will single us out.

Reflections of Glory Horse Painting by A Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Reflections of Glory

18 x 27 inches Oil on Canvas
The Original Horse Painting is SOLD, but prints are available
This horse painting was one of my most popular paintings. The original was painted in 2007 and sold the first day I had it on the blog.
Contrasting color palette and the reflective water brought intensity and dissonance to what would normally be a quiet moment of a 
horse drinking water.

Choices in Life...


What do I do now?


Making decisions in life is often not only challenging but can be overwhelming as well.
Looking back at life there can be questions as to some of those choices.


Bad decisions from the past are mistakes we must make amends for within our minds as well as with those that were affected by them.


It is not possible to move forward until you can forgive and ask for forgiveness. 


How does one make better choices today and in the future?

COMFORT in HIM

Life moves forward around us every single second. Those seconds make minutes and those add up to days, months and years.  Moments can be filled with joy or sorrow, peace or chaos, but through it all despite discontentment or circumstance I must trust that God's hand is in everything.  I have to turn to Him.


 Truly making a day would be impossible with out His presence in our lives. Some days are harder than others when the situations involve those I love and I feel so helpless to meeting their needs. I have to remind myself, only God can meet those needs not me.  In the depths of 'hell' the only source for good and light is the Father. 



You will find if you can get to that place of relying on Him you will have balance in the moment and regain your ground. This works through times of discord and despair. 


God brings harmony if you are listening and waiting on Him and through this you will find peace.

SEEDS to plant....

In this non-relenting heat watermelon has become our friend. We buy the seedless one and usually pick up a smaller melon so it does not go to waste. Nothing tastes better than a shake of salt on a slice of cold watermelon. YUM!  This new variety of seedless makes me wonder how they keep growing them if there are no seeds from the fruit to spread and create new plants.



Morgan called earlier and was sharing his day and mentioned he and Kelly might do some community service together on the weekends.  We were talking about planting seeds of kindness in our days.  Simple seeds go back to my typical adage of share a smile it goes a mile... or as I suggested to Morgan open a door for someone and say good day to them.  Those simple things can change a life.


 Traveling last summer to upper state NY was a trip of seed planting as well. Many new friendships were made and days of art and sightseeing shared, and Jamie Grossman gave generously of her hospitality to Terry and I in the Saugerties area of New York.  I was thrilled to meet her and Gretchen Kelly.  Jamie planted seeds in me in early 2009 when Artists of Texas came into being after she blogged about the gathering of the NY artists to paint in the Hudson River Valley area. 

The beauty of our September 2010 trip to New York state has stayed with Terry and I.   I do believe if NY did not have state income tax, we might pack it up and move north.

This was taken of the evening sky at Jamie's country home.  It was absolutely stunning.  I took many images as she toured us through the countryside and I am just now getting to them and hope to use them in some of my work. More Jamie seeds planted.


May this light of Heaven fill your life with God's love and grace. Go and plant a seed today.
