Just For Today

 

Let us be poised, and wise, and our own today

R W Emerson

Let the thunder roar around us

Let the seas beat against our shores

Let those who wish us ill make their plans

Cast their nets and

Shake their fists in fury

Let the wind lash against our windows until the house fairly shakes beneath our feet

Until the  trees are stark and bare

It does not matter

because today

..

We will be poised, and wise, and our own.

and that's poetiquejustis

No weapon formed against you will prosper  

Isaiah 54:17

Grow

 

Out of difficulties grow miracles

Jean de la Breyere

The soil may be dry and rocky

The light may be wrong

And the the weeds may be growing all around you

They can try to freeze you out

And they may even trample you under foot

But they cannot keep you from growing

If that is what you want to do

And that's Poetiquejustis

 

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,  neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Playing the Ponies

And the seasons they go round and round

and the painted ponies go up and down...

Joni Mitchell

Do you remember how exciting it was to ride a carousel?

You bought your ticket

.... chose your trusty steed

Or did it seem that he chose you?

You ran to your horse

 

the music began

 

 

And the rest of the world faded away

Somewhere in your mind you knew you were going in circles

But in your heart, you were heading for a great adventure

Today,  if you feel you are going nowhere

Take your imagination out for a spin as you did when you were a kid

Because  in your heart, your trusty steed still awaits. 

Off you go!

And that's poetiquejustis

It's All Up To You

 

Do all you can to make your dreams come true

Joel Osteen

If you  have a child

you have an obligation to help that child grow

If you have a pet

you have an obligation to keep that little guy safe

But If you have a dream

You have to do both

and that's poetiquejustis

"And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.

Joel 2:28

Rise and Shine!

 

The best way to make your dream come true

is to wake up

Paul Valery

No- it is not too late

No- it is not too early

and it's not too late

 

 

You are right on time!

 

 

 

So wake up and get going!

You have a lot ahead of you!

and that's poetiquejustis

In the morning let me hear about your faithful love,
 because I’ve put my trust in you. Show me the way I should live,
    because I trust you with my life.

Psalm143:8

Patterns

 

To have peace and confidence within our souls- these are the beliefs that make for happiness,

Maurice Maeterlinck

I have been doing a lot of cutting lately

Snipping the people out of my life who are toxic

Shearing off the unnecessary busy

Clipping the anxious thoughts right down at the root

Today can be a grand opening for you!

Just cut your way out of the useless, the frantic, and the needless
 "The more you have, the more you are occupied.
The less you have, the more free you are."
Mother Teresa

and that's poetiquejustis

 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will

Romans 12:2.

Where To Begin

 

To begin....begin

William Wordsworth

"I don't where to start"

"I don't know where the road begins"

"I can't even see the first step"

Sure you do

Know where you are going

Then work your way back

And, when you get to the beginning

Begin

and that's poetiquejustis

But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.

2 Chronicles 15:7

Onward!

 

Step by step

the thing is done

Charles Atlas

That's the thing 

about getting

done

You have to know

what the

is

that is worth doing

And why you believe this

is meant for you to do

                                                                    

                                                                           

You have to know the

you really want to do

Because, in this life there is 

 that everyone needs to do

and that's poetiquejustis

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Jeremiah 29:11
