Faithful and True

 

By faithfulness we are wound up 

into unity with ourselves

St. Augustine

Faithful

Mother Teresa said

Be faithful in small things

for in them your strength lies

and that's poetiquejustis

But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one

II Thessalonians 3:3

Today is Forever

 

Let every dawn be to you as the beginning of life,

 and every setting sun be to you as its close

John Ruskin

Begin each day with wonder

End each day with wisdom

Travel lightly

Savor

 

Leave grace in your wake

Repeat as often as Life allows

 

and that's poetiquejustis

 Man's days are determined; you have decreed the number of his months

and have set limits he cannot exceed.

Job 14:5

Something Wonderful

 

It is up to each of us to contribute something wonderful to this world

Nora Neale Houston

Whatever you have to give

give it with all your heart

your art

your song

your encouragement

your words

so...

when life passes the hat

contribute

and that's poetiquejustis

In the same way, let your light shine before others, 

that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Matthew 5:16

The Rest of It

 

Rest until you feel like playing, then play until you feel like resting, period. 

Never do anything else.

Martha Beck 

 

                                     Maybe, today you can just take on the little things

Maybe today, you can focus on the world in front of you

Let others cling to the edges

And crowd life's scene

 

 

While you 

 

Give the universe a chance to speak to you alone

 

And that's poetiquejustis 

 

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, 

and I will give you rest.

Matthew 11:28

 

The Gentler Way

 

Take the gentle path

George Herbert

You can blast your way through life

You can trod all underfoot

You can mow down  all that is in your way

But then be ready

to build your life on rubble

Today- by all means go forward

Gently....

You will still get where you want to go

And it will be a much nicer place to live 

when you get there

and that's poetiquejustis

Let your gentleness be known to all

Philippians 4:5

Where Dreams Dwell

 

“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.”

J K Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
― 

  Our other life

The one that we live within our dreams

Tucked away in a quiet universe where no one else can enter

What a lovely place

To visit

But if you do not return to the here and now 

At least upon occasion

That life you long for

will only stay

 within your dreams

 

And that's poetiquejustis

This is why it is said,

 "Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you light."

Ephesians 5:14

Beans!

 

I have measured out my life with coffee spoons

T S Eliot

Beans!

some days it is hard to even give one about anything!

Nothing stirs you!

Nothing surprises you

it all seems such a grind

Perk up!

The good stuff does not always happen in an instant

You have to put a little fire under it

add a little love

Dress it up a bit

and remember.....one does not live by coffee alone

Give it some thought

and press on!

and that's poetiquejustis

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.

Psalm 23:5
