Seasons Come and Go

The world wears well.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

The seasons have no problem with change

From light to dark

From pastel to burnished

The seasons simply come and go

And do not seem to care what we think about it

The seasons are very wise.

Think about it...

and that is poetiquejustis

To every thing there is a season

Ecclesiastes 3:1

Up Ahead

Life is like a bicycle. 

You don't fall off unless you stop pedaling.

Claude Pepper

Keep moving

One more peak

One more valley

One more horizon

And then another

And another

That's it- you've got it!

Life is all ahead of you

as long as you just keep moving

and that's poetiquejustis

The righteous keep moving forward,
    and those with clean hands become stronger and stronger.

Job 17:9 

While the Supply Lasts

Light tomorrow with today.

Elizabeth Barret Browning

We all have our dark days.

The days when all seems lost

Nothing seems right

 

And the road seems to be leading nowhere.

Those are the days when you need the light

 you have kept safe in your heart from a brighter time.

And that's poetiquejustis

 The Light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.

John 1:5

Know what?

To succeed in life you need two things:

ignorance and confidence

Mark Twain

It is not what you know

It is not even who you know

It is ignoring what you think you do not know

Until  you do what you thought you did not know
until you know it-
and what you thought you did not know

gets you where you want to go

and that's poetiquejustis

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

2 Timothy 4:7

Neither the Beginning Nor the End

Success is not final

Failure is not fatal

It is the courage to continue that counts

Winston Churchill 

Piles of wadded paper on the floor

Canvasses washed over to start again

Ideas that fall flat

and hopes that disappear like smoke in to a starry sky

the end

perhaps

       Unless.....

you see it all as the beginning it really is

 and that is poetiquejustis

 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,

I Peter 3:15

 

By Degrees

 ^{We boil at different degrees}

^{Clint Eastwood}

 ^{Contrary to popular thought}

^{A watched pot does in fact boil}

^{Little bubbles rise to the top}

^{Slowly and in single file at first}

^{And then they gather strength and numbers}

^{Until suddenly, there are more bubbles than still water}

^{And the heat feeds their frenzy}

^{And before you know it}

^{The whole thing  is boiling over.}

^{Today...watch those little bubbles of irritation that start to rise to the top}

Let off a little steam if you must

^{Because if you do not tun down the heat,} 

^{You might just find yourself with quite a mess to clean up}

^{and that's poetiquejustis}

 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.  James1:19

When I Wish

One must desire something in order to be alive

Margaret Deland

The word desire comes from "de sidere"

"what the stars will bring"

Is that why we wish upon a star?

Do you ever wish upon a star?

When no one is looking 

Is there something so deep in your soul that it reaches out to a star

That is the desire of your heart!

Go!  Desire!  

It just means you are alive

and that's poetiquejustis

Delight yourself in the LORD 

and he will give you the desires of your hear

Psalm 37:4

Done

The shortest answer is doing. ~Lord Herbert

You can start your day with 

an explanation of all you are going to do

You can wile away the hours

wishing dreams come true

Or you can get up and get moving

We both know that it's true

There is nothing to the words "to do"

Until the words become " it's done"

so talk a little less about it

and be the one who gets it done.

and that's poetiquejustis

                                                   Work brings profit; talk brings poverty!
                                                                      Proverbs 14:23
