Just some thoughts...

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

Chipping Away at Life

What I Learned from a Chocolate Chip 

“The formula of life is simple. It is the formula of giving - giving courage, attention, peace, love, and comfort to yourself and the society.”
Amit Ray


Nothing for it.
You put the day to bed

and wake up to find 

someone has rearranged the formula


Changed the recipe


Moved your piece on the chessboard


Maybe it is a  new hire at work and now the personality of the place is different



Or you find yourself in a whole new story where everyone seems to know the ending but you


But one thing you can count on...
Wherever you go, you are there.


That does not change

Take a chocolate chip.....

A chocolate chip is still a chocolate chip if it is in a cookie


or a brownie

A chip does not think about where it is-
It just jumps right into the bowl


It just keeps being a chocolate chip
Doing its chocolate chip thing and adding to the recipe

So, Go!

Be a chip for all seasons and reasons

Because wherever you go….there you are
And that’s poetiquejustis
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;  and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.  For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 
2 Peter 1
