What Dr. Seuss Might Say...

 

'If things start happening,

 don't worry,

 don't stew,

 just go right along

 and you'll start happening too.

Dr Seuss

 or.....

Stuck in a slump?

Down in the drain? 

Slipping and sliding?

Come in from the rain!

Put your best forward

stick out your grin

Like the Doc said- 'get moving'

 you win!

and that's poetiquejustis

(with a little help from Dr Seuss)

  "Do not let your hearts be troubled."

John 14:1

 

Somebody Needs Your Sunshine

 

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 cynic frown

to knock their fairy castle down?

Today

Be somebody's sunbeam

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

There's No Stopping Now

 

“The question isn’t who is going to let me; 

it’s who is going to stop me.”

Ayn Rand

 Not everyone along the way

Is interested in your success

No matter

Not everyone cares about

Your goals 

No matter!

                                      Because as long as the person you see in the mirror is
                                                                  committed to your goals you will

 then there is no stopping you

so keep calm

and

and that's poetiquejustis

And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us

Hebrews 12:1

Speak Up!

 

Great thoughts speak only to the thoughtful mind, 

but great actions speak to all mankind

Emily P Bissell

I like to think...I really do

 In fact...

I like to think that I spend quite a bit of time thinking

I think about things that are important

and those that are not so important

But there comes a time that thinking must become a deed

Otherwise, is is like buying all the ingredients for an  extraordinary chocolate cake

And never baking a thing

That takes the cake

and that's poetiquejustis

Do not refrain from doing what is excellent as long as you are able.

Proverbs 3:27

Here Is the Key

 

The doors we open and close each day decide the life we live

Jean Shinoda Bolen

The thoughts you let in

The words you let out

The people you allow in

The people you watch go

Doors.....open and close

But just remember

you still hold the key

and that's poetiquejustis

I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven

Matthew 16:19

Hero In Our Midst

Those who say we are in a time

where there are no heroes

just don't know where to look

Ronald Reagan

Today, thousands of teachers will head off to school

These are heroes in our midst

Today, thousands of servers will pour our morning  coffee

and smile even though we barely say hello

These are heroes in our midst

There are small shopkeepers fighting the economy

to stay open

These are heroes in our midst

There are writers laboring alone 

to keep the written word alive

These are heroes in our midst

Today, who is your hero?

Would you tell them?

Someone really should, you know....

and that's poetiquejustis

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. 

And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us

Hebrews 12:1

 

Face It!

 

Even if you fall on your face, you're still moving forward.

Victor Kiam

 

 "been down so long it looks like up to me"

What if I told you that this is a good thing!

Are you falling on your face a lot?

Good for you!

It means you are trying something new

Being brave

Being innovative.

Remember when you were a kid and you went through that rite of passage- the high dive at the pool?

I hope your life is filled with those moments!

And you always take the plunge!

And that's poetiquejustis

For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline - 

2 Timothy 1:7
