Just some thoughts...

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

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.

You Count

 

                                                        When I started counting my blessings,

                                                              my whole life turned around.

Willie Nelson
Afraid you are not getting a piece of the pie?
Bake your own slice of life and enjoy it!
Afraid the parade is passing you by?
Grab a big bass drum and head off down your road.
You are as happy as you want to be
You have as much as you think you need
 now
is the time to be grateful
because you have it all
and that's poetiquejustis

                                Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; 
                                         His love endures forever.
                                                                   Psalm 107:1

Shall we begin?

 

With the possible exception of the equator, everything begins somewhere,
C S Lewis 
Thoughts begin somewhere and move on
Love begins somewhere and grows
Dreams begin somewhere and become real
Now you must begin somewhere and be who you are
and that's poetiquejustis
 I also told them about the gracious hand of my God on me and what the king had said to me. They replied, "Let us start rebuilding." So they began this good work.
Nehemiah 2:18

Simply Smile

 

A smile is a curve that sets everything straight
Phyllis Diller
Andy Rooney said: 

when you smile when nobody else is around
you mean it

Right as always, Andy....
 
but

If you smile when others are around
you share it
and that's a good thing, too

Today-
When you see someone without a smile in their eyes
 throw them a curve!
That's may be your gift
and that's poetiquejustis
A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is crushed. 
Proverbs 15:13

Lessons Learned from a Pencil

 

A #2 pencil and a dream
can take you anywhere.
Joyce Meyer
 
The lowly pencil....
Anonymous among its brethren
Are like the very good people we meet along the way

They are there for the big tests in life
Ready to give us another chance
Always happy to help us learn
 Or just while away the hours
Pencils...like a very good friend
Always seem to get the point
and never think you are dull
We may find more elegant tools 
 
But remember the  #1 lesson from the lowly #2 pencil
 
And that's poetiquejustis
I will never leave you nor forsake you
Hebrews 13

I Know!

 

Nobody knows what I am trying to do
But I do
And I know when I succeed
Gertrude Stein
There is more to all of us than meets the eye


More than reaches the paper

More than fills the ear


There are things we all want that no one knows about


Dreams we do not dare to speak of


Hopes we do not dare to share


That is fine


Dream your dream
And keep your secret


But know that someone is right here


Cheering you on

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

Living by Starlight

 

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves
William Shakespeare

In the stars there are stories
In the stories there are dreams
In the dreams there is a future
In the future there is light
In the light there is a star
Write your story 
In the stars
and that's poetiquejustis
He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.
Psalm 147:4
