Just some thoughts...

Every day, as I write Poetiquejustis, I pray it will be a blessing to someone.
Today, I hope it is you.

Your Door to Tomorrow is Today

 

The doors of wisdom are never shut
Benjamin Franklin

You hold the key


You know the combination


You can throw the bolt


And ...


step into life


So-what are you waiting for?
The door to the future is yours to open

That is wisdom
And that's poetiquejustis
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."
Matthew 7:7

Getting Steamed

 

You've got to outlast yourself
Clint Eastwood
Have you ever felt like just pulling off on to the shoulder of life
Tipping your hat over your eyes and just going to sleep?
 
Or leaning against a tree and contemplating the clouds
forever               
seemed like a good idea?
 
Have your dream has lost its steam?
Not the case at all!
You just needed a rest!
You are just getting going!
You are powering up!
Getting in gear!
Ready to finish the race!
That's how you do it!
and that's poetiquejustis
And let us not grow weary of doing good,
 for in due season we will reap, 
if we do not give up.
Galatians 6:9

Today in Your History

 

Live out your imagination
not your history
Arthur Bryan
History is great
Some of my favorite people can be found there
It's a nice place to visit
But it is not a place to live
Living takes place in your today
 You are not who you were
and the world is not what it was
so
And that's poetiquejustis
Don’t ask, 
“Why were things better in the old days than they are now?”
 It isn’t wisdom that leads you to ask this!
Ecclesiastes 7:10

On The Road Again

 

Little by little one travels far
J R R Tolkien
How far you thought you would go
those summer days you cut the sky upon your swing
How far you thought you would go
when those first keys were put in to your hands
How far you thought you would go
when that first job was yours
How far you will know you have come
when you realize
that  now you are at home
and that's poetiquejustis
Everyone will sit under their own vine and under their own fig tree, and no one will make them afraid, for the LORD Almighty has spoken.
Micah 4:4

Making Room in a Room of One's Own

 

I don't want to be a passenger in my own life
Doris Ackerman



I do  not want to see life through a window


I do not want to hear life through others ears



I do not want to feel life through another



I do not want to cry others tears


I want to feel life in my own way



Though I  may choose to share it with you


I want to pedal along in this journey of mine


But there is always room for two
and that's poetiquejustis

                                         A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, 
                                                   but two can stand back-to-back and conquer.
                                                                       Ecclesiastes 4:12

                                                        


And On That Note

 

The inmost in time
becomes the outmost
R W Emerson

Your actions are the books
people read about your life

Your words are the melody
                                                         that gets stuck in their heads
Today

When you are the  author of the good


and the troubadour of peace
You do not have to be concerned about the reviews
Because you are a best seller
 and a major hit
in all the ways that matter
and that's poetiquejustis

May the words of my mouth
and the meditations of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
my Lord and my Redeemer
Psalm 19:14

Written in Stone

 


Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present
Jim Rohn


Today I petition myself 


To look well to how I build my life





To lay each brick along the path with love


And care

and daring

Because the path I build today

Will be the road I walk tomorrow
and that's poetiquejustis
Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
I Thessalonians 5:11
