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!

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

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

What Is Enough?

The lure of quantity is the most dangerous of all

Simone Weil

Enough

Too much

Too Much

Enough

Never enough

G'Day, Mate!

 

There is no shortage of good days

Annie Dillard

Believe it!

And have yourself one!

I mean....

Why waste a perfectly good day?

This is the day that the Lord has made;
    let us rejoice and be glad in it.

118:24

Better Things to Do

 

Not my circus

Not my monkey

Polish proverb

People around you doing things you cannot change?

Repeat after  me

Decisions being made that are just plain silly

but you cannot change them?

Repeat after me

You have tried to be the voice of reason,

The prompt for ethics

and no one is listening?

I am listening

Repeat after  me

Their drama may be THEIR greatest show on earth

But you have better things to see and do

and that's poetiquejustis

Oh, the joys of those who do not
    follow the advice of the wicked,
    or stand around with sinners,
    or join in with mockers.

Psalm 1:1
