On the Spur of the Moment

I got spurs that jingle jingle jangle!

Lyrics: Joseph Little and Frank Loesser

On the spur on the moment

what does that mean?

Is it something that grabs you

Before it was seen?

On the spur of the moment

you can flip life end to end!

 you can flip and fold it

you can patch it and mend

On the spur of the moment

without thought or regret

you can do something for someone 

that they will never forget

it won't cost you a nickel

it won't cost you a dime

it won't even cost you

much of your time

you can spur people on 

when their courage is dragging

To spur on - to encourage-

To cheer on those who are lagging!

Just with a listen

Just with a smile

Just with an attaboy

Once in a while

On the spur of the moment

You can make it all right

and that's poetiquejustis

 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds

Hebrews 10:24

 

Getting a Handle On It

 Every tomorrow has two handles. 

We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.

Harriet Beecher Stowe 

 

Every day, we pack a bag to take with us on the 24 hour journey

 

What we put in that bag is up to us

 

Holding on to yesterday's problems and stuffing them into today

Well, let's just say that you may not get any closure

 

Sorting it out and taking what is helpful

Can certainly help you get a handle on tomorrow.

And that's poetiquejustis

Cast all your anxiety on to Him because He cares for you.

I Peter 5:7

 

In The Weeds

 No life ever grows until it is focused, dedicated, and disciplined.

Henry Emerson Fosdick

 

Plants seem to have far more wisdom than we do.

 

They put down roots

 

Face the light

 

And reach for the sky

 From the regal rose

To the lowly weed

 The wisdom is built into them

The lesson?

when you want to get somewhere

 

it may mean staying where you are

 and growing

and that's poetiquejustis

For the Lord gives wisdom. From His mouth comes wisdom and understanding.

Proverbs 2:6

 

Or 

Something More to Reflect On

 

Doug Macleod sings:

"How you see life is how life sees you"

Life is a mirror and only you get to choose

the image you see

Now, bring that image to life 

and press on smartly

and that's poetiquejustis 

As water reflects a face,
So the heart of man reflects man
Proverbs 27:19

 

 

Life Changer

 

Hope is the most exciting thing

there is in life

Mandy Moore

Here is how it works

Get the idea?

I hope you do

and that's poetiquejustis

  May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, 

so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

Romans 15:13

Make a little noise!

 

Noise pollution

Joys pollution

Ear shattering

Fear shattering

Heart stopping

Heartwarming

You choose the soundtrack of your life.

So make a joyful noise

and that's poetiquejustis

To Warm and Cheer

 

 "I say to myself that I shall try to make my life like an open fireplace, so that people may be warmed and cheered by it and so go out themselves to warm and cheer." George Matthew Adams

 The world can be a cold, cold place

 Dreams freeze over

Goals are obscured by the storms of the day

How wonderful it is to find that person- to be that person-

 

who warms the heart of others

and that's poetiquejustis

 The cheerful heart has a continual feast

Proverbs 15:15
