When the Time is Right

 

In the right light, in the right time, everything is extraordinary

Aaron Rose

Come out from behind  your own shadow

And you will be in the right light

Understand that now is all you have

And you will be in the right time

Determine not to be ordinary

And you are already extraordinary!

                                                              K A Laity said:

“We have one precious life: do something extraordinary today, 

even if it's tiny. 

A pebble starts the avalanche.”

 For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. 

Walk as children of light 

Ephesians 5:8

A Scene of Contentment

 

And all the windows of my heart 

I open to the day

John Greenleaf Whittier

The sunshine of smiles

The mist of tears

The winds of change

The fog of sadness

The chill of pain

The warmth of love

Make a room in your heart for all

And welcome each as a friend

They are all a part of living

and just passing through

and that's poetiquejustis 

 .... for I have learned to be content in whatever situation I am in.

Philippians 4:11

Change the Lens

 

See as much as you ought not as much as you can.

Montaigne

When the 24-hour news cycle has become

a form of life support

It is time to get a life

When the first app you reach for in the morning

is 

It is time to break the habit.

Take a moment to breathe

To be kind to yourself and others

To just BE

Then you can see what you ought

and be who you need to be

and that's poetiquejustis

"I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

John 16:33

I Have News for You

 

Don't find fault

Find a remedy

Henry Ford

We all know what's wrong with the world

We all know what's wrong in our life

                                                    No trick to knowing what is wrong

But when was the last time you passed a test

By just knowing what was wrong

Today - be the one

Who makes something

Right

and that's poetiquejustis

Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good!

Romans 12:21

Where Hope is Not found

 

A whole stack of memories never equals one little hope

Charles M. Schulz

Marvin Hamlisch called them

"misty water colored memories

of the way we were. "

Memories -

good

and bad

Have only one thing in common

They dwell in the past

And hope never visits there.

Hope, my friend,

 is in the here and now.

That is worth remembering

and that's poetiquejustis

 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD,

 "plans to prosper you and not to harm you,

plans to give you hope and a future.

Jeremiah 29:11

Heading Down the Road

 

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

Acing Life

 

Pick a card- any card

 Sometimes, that is how life feels

It all seems too random

And the hand you have been dealt just does not suit you

Life was supposed to come up all aces, right?

And there were supposed to be a lot fewer of these

Don't just deal with it

Bet your life on it

Go all in

 

Samuel Johnson said:

Of the blessings set before you,  make your choice and be content.

That's the deal

and that's poetiquejustis
