There is no delight in owning anything

unshared

Share...one of the first lessons we teach our children

Share the love

Share the wisdom

Share the memories

Share the ideas

 Share the day

Share the night

Lindsay Wagner said:

 It's about sharing. 

You just give what you have to give wherever you go, 

and you let God handle the rest.

Sharing....

Everyone is doing it.....

so go...share

you have so much to give!

Remember this--a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop.

 But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop.

2 Corinthians 9:6

Logistically Speaking

Pure logic is the ruin of the spirit

Antoine de Saint Exupery

Logic has its place

 so keep it in its place!

Today.....

Indulge in a whim

Dream of a scheme

Slide down a rainbow

You have been grown up enough for one week-

go on- 

Have a giggle!

He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with shouting. 

Job8:22

Simple as Pie

A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety. 

Aesop

It was just another Saturday morning in my hometown

I drove past the beach near our house 

and my car tried to veer into a parking space

But I was on a mission

I was finally going to learn how to make a pie crust
from a fabulous pastry chef

One that looked like this

and not like this

You laugh?

Then you never tried to make a pie crust.

I swung into my friend's driveway
and was greeted by some moms and their daughters
who we were going to share the experience

we were all a  little shy at first

But baking breaks the ice

and who can be shy when you are up to your elbows in flour?

Just a bunch of women on a Saturday morning

 

Wanting to live a little larger than yesterday-

and call a few more people friend

And before you knew it- we all felt like master bakers!

Today-  

 Don't be so crusty!

Have a little fun, 

and make some new friends

That is what life is all about

and that's poetiquejustis

Friends love through all kinds of weather, and families stick together in all kinds of trouble.

Proverbs 17:17

The Blessing of the Necessary

If we do what is necessary, all the odds are in our favor. 

 Charles Buxton

I have a lot to do, so I have been thinking about doing what is necessary

It comes from the Latin neccesarious:  unavoidable, indispensable

But what makes it "unavoidable, indispensable"?

How do you define "necessary"?

Doing what is necessary to pay the bills?

Doing what is necessary to get the job done?

 To live a balanced life?

Is all that necessary?

Oh, dear...I believe it is.....

Winston Churchill said:

"It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' 

                                    You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary".

Living life well....seems it is a necessity

Daily

What is the good of your stars and trees,

 your sunrise and the wind, 

if they do not enter into our daily lives?

E M Forrester

 The majesty of a waking dawn- touch it!

The solemnity of the setting sun- hear it!

The symphony of the falling rain- hear it!

The caress of the windy day- enjoy it!

These are all gifts-

Receive them!

and that's poetiquejustis

^{Psalm 19:1-4}

¹ The heavens declare the glory of God;
    the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
² Day after day they pour forth speech;
    night after night they reveal knowledge.
³ They have no speech, they use no words;
    no sound is heard from them.
⁴ Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
    their words to the ends of the world.

Shade

If a window of opportunity appears, 

 

don't pull down the shade.  

Tom Peters

Remember when life was about the newness of it all?

When the sky was the limit

And it was always within reach?

The windows are still there

Opportunity is still waiting....Just draw back the curtains that time has put in place and you will see!

Jon Bon Jovi said

Don't get too comfortable with who you are at any given time - you may miss the opportunity to become who you want to be.

and that's poetiquejustis

Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage 

and let your heart be stout and enduring. 

Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord.

Psalm 27:4

Just One More Step

You've got to outlast yourself

Clint Eastwood

Today

I only have to take one more step

again and again and again

Today

I only have to go one more round

over and over and over

Today

I have to reach one more inch

then another and another and another

And today

 I must remember:

No one can stop me

but me.

and that's poetiquejustis

For nothing will be impossible with God.

Luke 1:37

Moving Right Along

The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing

Walt Disney

Both sides of the coin

Both sides of the argument

Both sides of your brain

You can toss it

Debate it

analyze it until it crumbles

but in the end

The only way to get it done

Is to get it done

and that's poetiquejustis

Don't let them waste their time in endless discussion of myths and spiritual pedigrees. These things only lead to meaningless speculations, which don't help people live a life of faith in God.
