Moving On

 

The important work

of moving the world forward

does not wait to be done

by perfect people

George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans)

They say it takes a village

I say it takes you

And me

And anyone else ready to show up

And do the work

That's how it gets done

And that's poetiquejustis

  Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. James 1:27

Not The Same Old Song

 

Never play a thing

the same way twice

Louis Armstrong

If life is the same old song

turn the page

If life is the same old dance

learn a new step

If life is not fresh every day

Open the windows of your mind

and let in something  new

and that's poetiquejustis

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:

 The old has gone, the new is here!

2 Corinthians 5:17

Is that necessary?

 

If we do what is necessary, all the odds are in our favor. 

 Charles Buxton

I have a lot to do, so I have been thinking about doing what is necessary

It comes from the Latin neccesarious:  unavoidable, indispensable

But what makes it "unavoidable, indispensable"?

How do you define "necessary"?

Doing what is necessary to pay the bills?

Doing what is necessary to get the job done?

 To live a balanced life?

Is all that necessary?

Oh, dear...I believe it is.....

Winston Churchill said:

"It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' 

                                    You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary".

Living life well....seems it is a necessity

and that's poetiquejustis

Pause

 

Gratitude makes sense of our past

brings peace for today

and creates vision for tomorrow

Melody Beattie 

There are times when patience 

is not my strong suit

Red lights

Books that do not know when to end

these things bother me

But they also can teach me a lesson

This morning

 I was frustrated at how long

it was taking the water dispenser on my refrigerator

to fill my glass

Then I thought about these ladies

and these ladies

and these ladies

and I thought better of it

and that's poetiquejustis

Give thanks in all circumstances; 

for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

I Thessalonians 5:18

Forward

 

“The question isn’t who is going to let me; 

it’s who is going to stop me.”

Ayn Rand

 Not everyone along the way

Is interested in your success

No matter

Not everyone cares about

Your goals 

No matter!

                                      Because as long as the person you see in the mirror is
                                                                  committed to your goals you will

 then there is no stopping you

so keep calm

and

and that's poetiquejustis

And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us

Hebrews 12:1

Get Up and Go!

 It's not whether you get knocked down, it is whether you get up

Vince Lombardi

Lost a big deal?

Go get three more!

Betrayed by a friend?

Go be a better friend yourself

Hate your job?

Improve the rest of your life

Maria Robinson said:

No one can go back and make a new beginning

But anyone can start today 

and make a new ending

and that's poetiquejustis

More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope
Romans 5:3-4 

It's Your Turn- Take It

 

A bend in the road is not the end of the road unless you fail to make the turn

Unknown Author

Dead ends?

New beginnings

Road blocks?

Detours

End of the road?

Start of a new life

Make the turn

and that's poetiquejustis

This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls....."

Jeremiah 6:16

Reflect

 

Without reflection, we go blindly on our way

Margaret Wheatley

Day after day

Running from task to task

Failure to failure

Or victory to victory

it does not really matter

Because suddenly you  realize

It is all been a circle

Time to stop the merry-go-round

long enough to see where you have been

and maybe where you are going!

There..that's better!

And that's poetiquejustis

Be still and know that I am God.

Psalm 46:10
