Beams

 

  How far that little candle throws his beams!

So shines a good deed in a weary world.
William Shakespeare

The smallest act of kindness

The flicker of  a smile

The  touch that warms the heart

The words that light the way

Today, may you give and receive that light

in abundance

and that's poetiquejustis

You, Lord, keep my lamp burning;
   My God turns my darkness into light.

Psalm 18:28

If You Can Dream It

 

We cannot live what we cannot dream

Richard Paul Evans

I have a friend who lost a lot in hurricane Sandy

He put his dreams in to a hammer and saw

And rebuilt

I know a woman who always wanted  her own catering business

She put her dreams in to an oven

And let it rise

I know someone who always wanted to be a writer

She put her hands to the keys

And here I am

Where is your dream today?

To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
Anatole France

And that's poetiquejustis
But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
Philippians 3:13

Making Life a Little Bigger

A little bit added 

to what you already have

gets you a  little bit more

P G Wodehouse

Just one more kind deed for another person

Makes your life a little bigger

Just one smile for a heart that needs one

Makes your own heart a happier  place

Just one more place at your table for a lonely friend

Makes your humble home a mansion

Give a little to get

A beautiful life...

it doesn't take much

and that's poetiquejustis

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in

Matthew 25:35

 

Blossom

 

Out of difficulties

grow miracles

Jean de Bruyere

No matter where you find yourself

No matter how barren it all seems

No matter how alone you are

Your life can grow in to a miracle

and that's poetiquejustis

 Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are.

Luke 12:27

Renewal

Don't be afraid to give up the good and go for the great!

Kenny Rogers

A season of renewal!

A season of Joy!

A season of  Hope!

A time of peace when the heart can be as still as the fallen snow

A time of wonder

A time to feel the greatness of it all.

and time to remember where the greatness truly abides

and that's poetiquejustis

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.

Go The Distance

 

Light is the symbol of truth

James Russell Lowell

Day-break  in a city

day-break in the forest

Day-break in a soul

When the light of day breaks forth

That which has kept the world in darkness

must let go

Today- let the day-break in to your life

and the darkness will let go

and that's poetiquejustis

I have come in to the world as Light so that no one who believes in Me should stay in darkness.

John 12: 46

Slow down, you're movin' too fast...

 

   Take time for all things

   Great haste makes great waste

   Benjamin Franklin

 Insta- photos

Makes you wonder what we are doing with 

all that left over time....

oh....I see

Maybe we should take the time

to get to know someone

or learn how to cook a meal....

or even paint a picture

Yes...

that all takes time

But you will learn so much more along the way!

and that's poetiquejustis

Desire without knowledge is not good- 

how much more will hasty feet miss the way!

Proverbs 19:2
