Today

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

I will make a room in my heart for all

And welcome each as a friend

They are all a part of living

and that's poetiquejustis 

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

Philippians 4:11

Do The Math

Ah, it is a lovely thing to know a thing or two

Moliere

Life is complicated

And when things are the way they are now

it does not take much

for none of it to make sense

When even what you thought you knew does not add up

Perhaps it is time to recalculate

what is really important

and then move on

Because today, someone is counting on you to find the way.

and that's poetiquejustis

....encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone.

I Thessalonians 5:14

Flip the Switch

The laziest man I ever met put popcorn in his pancakes so they would flip themselves

W C Fields

Ah...but life does not flip itself

You have to put a little effort in to it

 

Like this...

"Horrible traffic!!"

Flip

  "Thank you that I have a car"

" Sigh.....I have to go to work"

Flip

"Thank you that I have a job"

"Laundry!!"

Flip it

"Thank you that I have clothes"

Get it?

Just flip it

Maybe it will catch on and we will all be flipping out with gratitude.

Wouldn't that be hot!

and that's poetiquejustis

And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called

And be thankful

Colossians 3:15

Never Lose Your Gusto!

You will do foolish things

but do them with enthusiasm

Colette

There are days when

You will order the fish and chips 

instead of the salad

Do it with gusto

There are times when

You will stay up all night 

reading a new novel

Don't regret a minute of it

In this life

You will love the wrong person

Wear the wrong shoes

Say the wrong thing

Do you know what that all means?

It means you are living!

and that's poetiquejustis

 Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.

2 Corinthians 12:9
