Just some thoughts...

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

On the Wing

 

Intelligence without ambition
is like a bird without wings
C Archie Danielson

Knowing is good


Knowing what you want to do
with that knowledge
is good!


But neither of those things


Will get you anywhere
If you do not get moving
and that's poetiquejustis

Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, - See more at: http://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Moving-Forward#sthash.MCc5COBm.dpuf

Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. 
Are you not of more value than they? 
Matthew 6:26

What is Yours to Give

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
 
Khalil Gibran
 
 
There is no delight in owning anything
unshared











Share...one of the first lessons we teach our children


Share the love

Share the wisdom
Share the memories
Share the ideas

 Share the day
Share the night


Lindsay Wagner said:


 It's about sharing. 
You just give what you have to give wherever you go, 
and you let God handle the rest.


Sharing....
Everyone is doing it.....
so go...share
you have so much to give!
and that's poetiquejustis

Remember this--a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop.
 But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop.
2 Corinthians 9:6

It Had Done Me Good

 

It had done me good to be somewhat parched by heat 
and drenched by the rain of life
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
 
 
The moments of greatest struggle
The hours of deepest darkness
The times when we are called upon to be greater than
To be stronger than
To be braver than
we believe we are
That is when we find out
Who we really are
and that is poetiquejustis
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
Philippians 4:12

Spinning out ot Control

 

Let the great world spin forever
down the ringing grooves of change
Tennyson
When did a lie become glorified as a"spin"?
Where were we when people started being hired
Promoted
Applauded 
For turning the truth 
in to a lie?
Anyone can put a spin on things
anyone
 
But it is only the brave 
who speak the truth

and then clean up the mess
left behind by the "spin"
and that's poetiquejustis
The LORD detests lying lips, 
but He delights in people who are trustworthy.
Proverbs 12:22

With Great Abandon

 

There can be no greatness without abandonment
Ralph Waldo Emerson

 Lose yourself in what you are doing today
Let it take you away

 Wade right in

Dive right in!

 Be absorbed

Be fully engaged
Emerson also said: "A man is what he thinks about all day long"
So today, think about what you are doing
And that's poetiquejustis

Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God
Romans 12:1

Artfully Done

 

The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude
Nietzsche


You are the artist of your day
Be grateful
Your will paint your world in hues of rose and sunshine

Or streak your sky with grey
You have a choice
Be grateful

You can mold the day in to a thing of beauty
sketch your hours

Life is art, you are the artist
be grateful!
and that's poetiquejustis
And whatever you do, in word or deed, 
do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, 
giving thanks to God the Father through him. 
Colossians 3:17

Companionable

 

No road is long with good company
Turkish Proverb

Your thoughts


A book


A four footed friend


Your memories


Your hopes

These are all good companions on the road of life

So put it down
and take a walk
and that's poetiquejustis
"Arise, walk about the land through its length and breadth; for I will give it to you"
Genesis 13:17
