Task at hand

He did each thing as if he did nothing else

spoken of Charles Dickens

When did we become so enamored with mulitasking?

when did it become a virtue

not to be able to focus on one thing at a time?

We talk about the importance of living in the moment

 but then we stuff the moment until it is about to burst

 one moment at a time
one thought at a time
one blessing at a time

that is the rhythm   that is the music
and that is poetiquejustis

And the world is passing away along with its desires,
but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
1 John 2:17

 

Changing Things Up

 

If the wind will not serve, take to the oars

Latin Proverb

"Don't reinvent the wheel"

Sound advice....unless a wheel is not the answer

for you

"We have always done it this way"

Makes sense- until it no longer makes any sense

for you

"This has always worked"

Excellent- until it does not work anymore

for you

This is your project

 Your life 

 Your goal

No one ever made the wheel that worked for you

Because no one has ever  made your journey

Go ahead- invent your own wheel

and sail on

And that's poetiquejustis

  But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:19

Double Dare You

 

 All serious daring starts from within.

Eudora Welty

 

You don't have to look far 

 

Right inside your heart you will find

Places to go

People to be

Dreams to visit

 

It is all right there

if you dare to find it.

And that's poetiquejustis

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

Ephesians 3:20 

 

Handy

With our hands, we put our heart, spirit and thought in to action
Alexandra Stoddard

Hands....

They give

and

They receive

They hold on

and they let go

They create

and the destroy

They say so much about who we are

Jewel sang:

My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
I am never broken.....

We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's heart

Today, give some thought to the  life of your hands

thenbgive your hands over to living!

and that's poetiquejustis

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might

Ecclesiastes 9:10

 

Spending Time

Life is meant to be spent, not to be saved

D H Lawrence

Are you saving life up for a rainy day?

Are you just banking on your future being any different than today?

Or are you investing in yourself now-

Taking an interest in everything that is around you

Give yourself some credit!

Living your own life fully

 is a luxury we all can afford

                                                            and that's poetiquejustis
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21

 

Time and Time Again

It is always too early to quit

Norman Vincent Peale

Imagine what your world would be

If you did all the things you are talking about doing

Having adventures instead of idea

Making progress instead of excuses

Where would you be if you headed down the road ahead

Instead of frantically looking for detours?

So tell me...

Where will you be tomorrow

If you just get it done today?

Ralph Marston said:

What you do today can improve your tomorrow.

and that's poetiquejustis

“Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning."

Luke 12:35

 

What counts

                                             When I started counting my blessings, 

my whole life turned around.

Willie Nelson

Afraid you are not getting a piece of the pie?

Bake your own slice of life and enjoy it!

Afraid the parade is passing you by?

Grab a big bass drum and head off down your road.

You are as happy as you want to be

You have as much as you think you need

 now

is the time to be grateful

because you have it all

and that's poetiquejustis

                                Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; 
                                         His love endures forever.
                                                                   Psalm 107:1

Stepping Up

 

If the shoe fits, it is probably worn out.

Craig Bruce

Out of sync?

Out of step?

Out of date?

 

That's ok

Just keep stepping!

And don't let anything stop you. 

And that's poetiquejustis

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

2 Corinthians 5:7
