Just some thoughts...

Every day, as I write Poetiquejustis, I pray it will be a blessing to someone.
Today, I hope it is you.

Many Thanks

I'd like to thank everyone I met in my life
Maureen Stapelton

Some folks will rub you the wrong way


Others will give you just what you need


There are those you wish had never crossed your path

                            ....Those  who made your life very hard

Those who you never really got to know
and those you will always remember even when they are gone
We should be thankful for them all
Because they helped make you who you are
And that can be a very good thing

if you let it
and that's poetiquejustis
Dear brothers and sisters, we can't help but thank God for you, because your faith is flourishing and your love for one another is growing.
2 Thessalonians 1:3

A Little Something

Time for a little something
A A Milne
Today, I need a little something


a little bit of
A little laughter
I need a little cottage
Where the wildflowers can watch me grow
I need a little
A little rest
A little quiet
Today, I just need a little something
so I will have
a little something to give
I know there is a little something around here somewhere
 
I don't quite remember where I left it
 
 But today, I am off to find it
And that is poetiquejustis
 
 Do not despise these small beginnings, 
for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin
Zechariah 4:10

The B's Have It

He has the gift of quiet
John Le Carre'



Blowhard


Bombastic


Belligerent






or....

Blessing


Blissful



 Breezy
 
 Because
Choose who you want to "B"
Then live it
And that's poetiquejustis
Let everyone see how reasonable and gentle you are. The Lord is near! 
Philippians 4:5

What You Do Today

It is always too early to quit
Norman Vincent Peale
Imagine what your world would be
If you did all the things you are talking about doing
Having adventures instead of idea
Making progress instead of excuses
Where would you be if you headed down the road ahead
Instead of frantically looking for detours?
So tell me...
Where will you be tomorrow
If you just get it done today?
Ralph Marston said:
What you do today can improve your tomorrow.
and that's poetiquejustis
“Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning."
Luke 12:35

Bad Things Happnen

The world is so full of suffering-
and it is also the overcoming of it
Helen Keller


Bad things happen


Good people step in


unkind words hurt


Kind words seek to help



Bad can take away so much


Good can give so much back
Today-
Go...be good to one another
and that's poetiquejustis

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans 12:21

Life Comes in Waves

What is coming will come 
and we will meet it when it does
J K Rowling
Goblet of Fire
Taking a chance
Taking it on
 fighting back
 owning it
Knowing the risk
Bringing it home
and that's poetiquejustis
I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Something we should never lose

 A strong mind always hopes 
and always has cause to hope.
Thomas Carlyle
Hope
Victor Frankl tells us loss of hope
is harder to overcome than loss of the material
Hope
It is that belief of Annie's in the sun coming up
Hope
It is what gets us out of bed
It keeps us searching for answers
Keeps us believing in our dreams
Hope is the greatest gift we can give to the day
And that the day can give us in return
Hope
is what I hope for you
today
and that's is poetiquejustis

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess for He who promises is faithful.
Hebrews 10:23
