Just some thoughts...

Every day, as I write Poetiquejustis, I pray it will be a blessing to someone.
Today, I hope it is you.

Wear It Well

 

The world wears well.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.



The seasons have no problem with change


From light to dark


From pastel to burnished
The seasons simply come and go
And do not seem to care what we think about it
The seasons are very wise.
Think about it...
and that is poetiquejustis
To every thing there is a season
Ecclesiastes 3:1

Something Simple and Good

 

'There is something simple and good
in all this.'
Cherringham-  Matthew Costello
Remember when facts did not need to be checked
And truth did not need to be re-defined?
 When we were not afraid to open the paper
Or talk to a friend about current affairs
Seems to me, things were a lot 
kinder
simpler
and friendly
not that long ago.
I say we  find it-
walk away from the darkness
                                                                    In to the light

It is that simple
and that's poetiquejustis
                                                       
                                                              Seek peace and pursue it.
Psalm 34:14

Cross that Bridge

 

What seems like courage is really persistence
Barbara Gordon


Not to be overwhelmed by waves of our own making


Not to be driven down by storms that we create


Not to be forced to a halt by bridges that we burned

Or whether you

go the distance

face the storms

finding a way to the other side



That is courage
That takes persistence 
And that's poetiquejustis

Galatians 6:9  
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, 
if we do not give up.

Ready!

 

The readiness is all
William Shakespeare



Ready for anything


Ready for nothing


Ready for today


Ready for tomorrow


Ready to hang on


Ready to let go

                                                        It is all about the ready....
                                                      and being steady as you go
                                                         and that's poetiquejustis
                                     But always be prepared to give the reason for the hope that you have.
                                                             1 Peter 3:15

Through The Open Door

 

All we are looking for is another open door
Kate Bush
Singer/Songwriter
The Young Bloodhawke song "We Come Running"
has been playing  a continual loop in my head today

It talks about "heading for the open door"
And " looking out across the great divide"
It also asks me what I am waiting for.
Good question
What am I waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Shouldn't they hear the sound
as we come running?
There is much to do
And this is our time in history
to get it done
and that's poetiquejustis
 ....being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might 
so that you may have great endurance and patience

Until You Know Better

 

                                          "Do the best until you know better. 

                                       Then when you know better, do better."  

                                             — Maya Angelou




There is so much you can do


If you just get up and do it


There are so many things to be


NOW is the time- get to it


So many things to see

And when you try the race is half over


If you just get up and give it a run

And for goodness sake-
whatever you do 

Add a smile and make it fun!
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

Stylin'

 

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up
The greatest way to succeed is to try one more time
Thomas Edison


"I tried that"


Good for you! 
Now try again.


"That's not my style"


So how is that working for you?

Just get out there and do it!
again


It is the AAA of success:


Advance      


Adjust


Advance

And that's poetiquejustis



       "Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them,
    for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you."            Deuteronomy 31:6
