Making Improvements

 

Even perfection has room for improvement.

Ty Warner

 

It is a  funny thing about perfection.

 

When we say we want something to be "perfect"

 

We really mean we want it our way

 

Or how we think it should be

 

But as no one do knows how you are feeling right now-

 

Or how you will feel five minutes from now 

How's that going to work?

Here's an idea...

How about if we just try to be kind?

There is always time for that.

Perfect!

And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.  

Colossians 3:14

Where You Sit

 

No good decision was ever made in a swivel chair

General Patton

I am not sure agree

  I have this swivel chair inside my head.

It is big, and comfy, and does a complete 360.

It allows me to see things from different points of view.

 It helps me to understand

                                                Seeing things from different POVs is not bad

It just cannot be endless 

That just makes you dizzy

and that's poetiquejustis

                                  Then He opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.
                                                                              Luke 24:45

Live It Up!

 

We are born to live

not to prepare for life

Boris Pasternak

Planning to plan your plans

Lists of things you will start tomorrow

or Monday

or Someday

Organizing

Preparing

Until...what?

 Exactly...

Would you say it was time to start living?

I would

and that's poetiquejustis

 He who observes the wind will not sow,

 and he who regards the clouds will not reap. 

Ecclesiastes 11:4

You Have Arrived!

 

I don't know how I got here

but I know that I am never going to leave

Tracey Clark

It is not the dress size

Or the check size

Or the address

It is not the titles or awards

What we all are looking for is that place that makes us feel as though we are home

Wherever we are 

Find that place in your heart

And you have arrived

And that's poetiquejustis

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Matthew 6:33

In Silentio

 

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, 

but the silence of our friends. 

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 

We need to speak up, you know

and we need to reach out

When?

when we see people fighting 

the good fight

alone

And when we remember there are those who count on us-

Those who do not yet have a voice

 but are hoping for a future

We do not need to shout -

But when we  speak out

it should be with quietness and confidence

That is what will be remembered

And that is poetiquejustis

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Proverbs 15:1

Putting It Out There

 

We all live in each other's shadow.

Irish Proverb

What we do does not stay with us

Good or bad

Kind or cruel

Smart or silly

It touches others

I want to remember that today

and walk where the Light is Shining brightly

 

And that's poetiquejustis

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. 

Psalm 91:1

That's What Friends Are For

 

Old friends....sat on the park bench like bookends....

Simon and Garfunkel

 Friends who have been with you throughout your life

Old friends- no matter what your age

Someone to lean on

People who knew you when you were....

Who know the victories and losses

  Friends who listen to what you want to be

That's what friends are for

                                                                and that's poetiquejustis

One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin,
 but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Proverbs 18:24

That Would be Good

 

You're a good man, Charlie Brown 

Charles Schultz

So, what exactly does it take to be a good person?

Well, here is my short list...

You are a good person if....

You fill up the empty water dish for the dog....

Give the guy on the street a few bucks to eat

and he is a good guy

when he shares it

You are a good guy

if you smile when you see a daisy

 (did you smile?)

You are a good guy if

You eat the meat loaf even if it is not "just like mom's"

 That's the good person short list

feel free to add your own

and that's poetiquejustis

That would be good

A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart

Luke 6:45
