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!

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!

It is the AAA of success:

Advance      

Adjust

Advance

It is better, I think to grab for the stars

Then to sit frustrated believing you 

cannot reach them

It all depends on where you have been reaching

You Are A Living Masterpiece

 

 You have to color outside the lines once in a while 

if you want to make your life a masterpiece.

Albert Einstein

 

A colorful life

 

 

A life pleasing to your eye 

A life that let's go of the old to make way for the new

 

 

A life that understands that lines are not meant for crossing 

to simply be rebellious

                                                      But rather to learn what life looks like

 

When you let yourself dream

                                                                   That's your masterpiece

and that's poetiquejustis

He has made everything beautiful in its time.

                                                                 Ecclesiastes 3:11

The Sunny Side

 

If you have good thoughts

they will shine out of your face like sunbeams

and you will always look lovely

Ronald Dahl

from Matilda

 Today

You may need to be the sun in someone's day

please smile for them

You may need to be the light in someone's eyes

shine brightly for them

and if you think you look silly when you smile-

check yourself out when you frown

As Eliza Cook said:

why should we strive with cynical frown

to knock their fairy castle down?

Today

Be somebody's sunbeam

 That's the bright thing to do

and that's poetiquejustis

‘The Lord bless you
    and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you
    and be gracious to you;the Lord turn his face towards you
    and give you peace.’

Numbers 6:24-26

Making Life Pop

 

Sometimes I only hope to make a good popcorn movie.   

                                                           Lou Diamond Phillips

                                                                        Day to day life

and popcorn
  have quite a bit in common

You have to add a little heat

 

but not too much

You have to shake things up a little

Maybe grab it by the handful

 

 

And be willing to overdo it sometimes

Get a little crazy with it

Let it get a little seasoned

      So, go!  Pop yourself some life

"TODAY: THE MOVIE"

  Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Joshua 1:9

Catch of the Day

 

I've got to keep breathing. It'll be my worst business mistake if I don't.

Steve Martin

Breathe!

Keep doing it no matter what it takes!

Rejoice in each one

 

Because

That's the only catch!

    and that's poetiquejustis

Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

Genesis 2:7

Are You Through?

 

The Best Way Out is always through

Robert Frost

Through the good times

Through the bad times

Through the big times

Through the lean times

Through the joy

Through the sorrow

Look at you!

You made it through

and that's poetiquejustis

Therefore, since we are surrounded by 

such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, 

let us strip off every weight that slows us down,

 especially the sin that so easily trips us up. 

And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.

 Hebrews 12:1
