HOPENESS

 

Hope is the most exciting thing

there is in life

Mandy Moore

Here is how it works

Get the idea?

I hope you do

and that's poetiquejustis

  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

Life is almost never seamless

You put the pieces together, 

and you do it one forward motion at a time

Of course, there are some days when you have to start all over

But that certainly is better than leaving life undone

And that's poetiquejustis

Mistakes are acceptable if they're the result of moving forward.

Psalm 68:19 

Blessed be the Lord who daily carries us forward.

Where We've Never Been

 

My favorite thing is to go where I have never been

Diane Arbus

Flights of imagination

Thoughts that take wing

Dreams that move you up up and away

Grab on!

Let it lift you

To somewhere you have never been

But someplace you have always known

and that's poetiquejustis

 The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.

Deuteronomy 31:8

Out on the Country Lanes

 A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere.

Groucho Marx

Off the beaten path

There are ways to think and ways to see

Off the beaten path

The path that has been beaten

has little left to say

Just learn from those who beat that path

And beat your own today!

and that's poetiquejustis

So his master said, 'Go out into the country lanes and behind the hedges

 and urge anyone you find to come, so that the house will be full.

Luke 14:23

Rooted

 

Gardening is an exercise

in optimism

Maria Schinz

You have to keep an eye on any garden 

for weeds 

and visitors

How much more so

The garden of you soul

Yank bitterness out by the roots!

Weed out the unkind thoughts

Leave the rest to grow

in the sunshine of your smile

and that's poetiquejustis

And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden 

in the cool of the day

Genesis 3:8

You Have a Gift to Give

 

"First find the peace within; then give it away." 

 ~ Elsa Joy Bailey

con·flict: to come into collision or disagreement;

be contradictory, at variance, or in opposition; clash

Global conflicts

People conflicts

 Conflicting opinions

 

Conflicting interests

All of these are nothing compared to a conflicted YOU

Peace must grow

 from within

 Or it does not begin at all 

Go. 

Find peace within yourself

and then give it away- 

Like starter for sourdough bread-

Just give someone a bit of their own

and both of you will be fed

and that's poetiquejustis

2 Corinthians 13:11  Finally, brothers, rejoice. Aim for restoration, comfort one another, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.

Just Passing Through

 

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

Make a room in your heart for all

And welcome each as a friend

They are all a part of living

and just passing through

and that's poetiquejustis 

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

Philippians 4:11
