Not Quite Wonderful

 

You cannot be brave if you have only had wonderful things happen to you

Mary Tyler Moore

No one gets it right every time

Sometimes, we need a little help from our friends

Sometimes, we just have to let go

Og Mandino said: Always seek out the seed of triumph in every adversity

That's the brave thing to do

 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,

knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.…

Adventure is worthwhile

Whatever the adventure

In the sky

In the sea

On the road

In your mind

Go there!

Do that thing!

Venture forth!

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

Joshua 1:9

Try and Spin This

 

Let the great world spin forever

down the ringing grooves of change

Tennyson

When did a lie become glorified as "spin"?

Where were we when people started being hired

Promoted

Applauded 

For turning the truth 

in to a lie?

Anyone can put a spin on things

anyone

 

But it is only the brave 

who believe in truth

and its better outcome

after they clean up the mess

left behind by the "spin"

and that's poetiquejustis

The LORD detests lying lips, 

but He delights in people who are trustworthy.

Proverbs 12:22

How Kind of You!

 You change the world by being yourself.

Yoko Ono

The smallest of pebbles dropped in water can cause a ripple

The tiniest of breezes can stir the leaves

 

A single ray can brighten the day

 

And a little kindness can go a long way

And that's poetiquejustis

Despise not the days of the small beginnings.

Zechariah 4:10

 

 

 

 

Look Sharp!

 

A #2 pencil and a dream

can take you anywhere.

Joyce Meyer

 

The lowly pencil....

Anonymous among its brethren

Are like the very good people we meet along the way

They are there for the big tests in life

Ready to give us another chance

Always happy to help us learn

 Or just while away the hours

Pencils...like a very good friend

Always seem to get the point

and never think you are dull

We may find more elegant tools 

 

But remember the  #1 lesson from the lowly #2 pencil

 

And that's poetiquejustis

I will never leave you nor forsake you

Hebrews 13

Optimizing Optimism

 

 I am an un-healable positive optimist

Andre Rieu

There is no cure

There are no meds

There is no prescription

You are just going to have to suffer with the symptoms

Of a light heart

A sunny smile

And a hopeful future

 You can live with that!

And that's poetiquejustis

                                       Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again--rejoice!
                                                                    Philippians 4:4

Will You?

 

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength...not a lack of knowledge....but rather a lack of will

Vince Lombardi

Will you press on?

Will you not give up?

Will you simply tip your hat to  adversity and then move on?

Will you get up just one more time...again and again?

You will?

Fantastic!

YOU ARE A SUCCESS

And that's poetiquejustis

For it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

Philippians 2:13
