"Grace" ~ 24"x30" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Autumn Tree Landscapes by Connie Tom

I love peaceful settings. It seems to bring peace to my soul and spirit... my inner most being. Grace is not something you earn. Wages we earn by our hard work and we are therefore justly rewarded. Grace is that "unmerited favor from God" many times coming in unexpected ways. Look for it today. It is a gift.... it is a blessing!

"Grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.." ~ Ephesians 1:2-3

"Old Oak Tree on a High Hill III" ~ 1/10/08 A Painting a Day by Connie Tom

I love old oak trees! This old oak stands like a sentinel watching over the valley below and the rest of the trees. ~Enjoy!

"I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works. I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High. When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence. For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right." ~ Psalm 9:1-4.
