It's All Ahead of You

 

The future has a way of arriving unannounced

George Will

Almost there

I can see it 

Just within reach

It has caught my eye

It has captured my imagination

It has asked to enter my life

It has now floated in to my past

It was my future

It is now my life

and that's poetiquejustis

The LORD will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.

Isaiah 58:11

Your Life is a Tapestry

 

Expectancy is the atmosphere for miracles

Edwin Louis Cole

I am expecting a lot from today

and tomorrow 

and the year to come

 I will expect, demand, and accept

the good things that come my way

And the not so good

The wanted

And the "......could have done without that"

and I will treat them all as threads of gold and silver and scarlet

That I will weave in to something magnificent

because that is how a miracle is born

What will you do with the threads of your days in the coming months?

Let's meet right here next year

And we will share our miracles!

"For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”  

Matthew 17:20

Boiling It Down

 

To me, if life boils down to one thing, 

it's movement. 

To live is to keep moving.

Jerry Seinfeld

 

Filling up your life with stuff

is not living

If you want to get things moving

in life

You have to turn up the heat

Not too much

Just enough to get things moving

and that's poetiquejustis

For in Him we live and move and have our being.

Acts 17:28

Humor Me

 

Humor is the instinct for taking pain playfully

Max Eastman

Every day, we all deal with people

who just do not know how to laugh it off

People who can turn a bowl of cold cereal

Into a three act play

or a simple problem 

in to a drama of Greek tragedy proportion

And then they manage to cast themselves in the role of both

victim

and hero

while making certain they 

 everyone within a thirty mile radius

You aren't like that, are you?

I didn't think so

That's why I like you

And that's poetiquejustis 

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

Matthew 5:9 

Let It Out!

 

I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues

Duke Ellington

Push it through a horn

Tap it on some keys

Bang it on your knees

Let it out!

 rhyme it  or shout it

But whatever you do-

let your life sing!

and that's poetiquejustis

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.

Philippians 4:4

Such a Pity?

 

Self pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it

we can never do anything wise in the world

Helen Keller

There are a lot of invitations this time of the year

Office parties

Friend's parties

Big parties

Small parties

Go and have fun!

But there is one invitation you should always turn down

Send your regrets with no regrets!

and that's poetiquejustis

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

I Thessalonians 5:18

God's Gift

 

 

 

For to us a child is born, 

 

 

 

 

to us a Son is given,

 

 

 and the government will be on his shoulders. 

 

 

And he will be called Wonderful Counselor,

 

 

 Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace

 

 

He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity.

The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this.
 

 His government and its peace will never end.

That is God's Promise

and that is more than Poetiquejustis
