Going Somewhere

 

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known

Sharon Begley

We are all headed somewhere today

Some of us will be in a hurry

Some of will be dragging our feet

                                             Some of us will only move along in our minds

                                         But today, we are all headed somewhere

 

And we will not be the same person tomorrow that we are today 

Carol King asked us why nobody stays on one place any more

Good question

Why is so much the world built to move?

Rivers flow

Tides go in and out

Birds take flight with the seasons

It seems we too are  built for the journey

and perhaps to help someone along the way

 

Because everyone is going somewhere today.

In the way of righteousness there is life;

along that path is immortality

Proverbs 12:28

Challenge Accepted

 

Acceptance gives you the permission and power to move on.

Henry Fraser

 Artist, Author, and Former Rugby Player

This quote is from a rugby player

who lost the use of his limbs

and then took up painting

Showing us how to move on

 with strength

and grace

 and power

It takes courage to accept the realities in life

and then claim the victory over your circumstances

                                                     Acceptance is not the end of the story

It is the beginning of the next chapter 

and that's poetiquejustis

The Lord is my shepherd I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadow he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths bringing honor to his name.  

Even when I walk through the darkest darkest valley, I will not be afraid,
    for You are close beside me.

Meet the New You

 

No one is any one thing

Martin Short

You are not the person that you were yesterday-

 you  are changed

because of the things that happened to you

today

 you are changed

you may be better

or not

You may be happier

or not

 one thing is certain

 you are someone new

a different you

 than you were

                                                   so today
                                             

 be the best you can be

because you will never have a chance to be

that person 

again 

and that's poetiquejustis

  Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. 

Matthew 4:13-14

Live It Upward

 

I think life has a little more to give

Samuel Johnson

More than food 

More than drink

More than work

More than rest

Life has so much more to give

And you have so much more

to give

to life

Go! Give! Live!

and that's poetiquejustis

Bur seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness

and all of these things will be added to you

Matthew 6:33

Virtuosity

 

Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues but the parent of all the others. 

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Some days are just better than others

 Some days make you want to sing

Some days make you want to run for cover

We learn from the good days

And we learn from the not-so-good days

And maybe we remember that our worst days are good 

compared to what others may have coming at them

Give thanks a chance to do its work in your life

And that's poetiquejustis

“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

Colossians 3:17

Bear With Me

 

We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.

Martin Luther King Jr. 

 The sun is going to shine again.

You will find another job, you'll see.

You DO have another book in you!

Dis-appointment just means that you are at the right place

at the wrong time.

Keep asking

Keep dreaming

and never give up hope

and that's poetiquejustis

Oh, that I might have my request, that God would grant what I hope for

Job 6:8
