Day to Day Living

 

“Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, 

everything is different...”  C S Lewis

 

You roll from day to day

 

And all seems the same

 

Until you realize 

 

it is not

and neither are you

Will you smile about that?

 

I hope so-

Because that is 

what is wonderful about life

And that's poetiquejustis

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven

Ecclesiastes 3:1 

Wait, Hope, Do

 

If a window of opportunity appears, 

don't pull down the shade.  

Tom Peters

 

Live your beliefs

Remember when life was about the newness of it all?

When the sky was the limit

And it was always within reach?

The windows are still there

Opportunity is still waiting..

.Just draw back the curtains that time has put in place

  and you will see!

and that's poetiquejustis

Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage 

and let your heart be stout and enduring. 

Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord.

Psalm 27:4

Making the Most of Every Step

 

 

Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.

 ~Winston Churchill

 You can laugh about it

You can grump about it

You can even sneeze about

You can try to sleep right through it

But the fact is, the only way to put that flop, that failure, that uh-oh moment behind you

Is to press on smartly

\

 

That's how you get ahead of it all

 

and that's poetiquejustis

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. 

And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us

Hebrews12:1

Making the Grade

 

There is no cramming for the test

of life

Madeline Albright

Learn as you go

Take notes!

Practice!

You just never know

when there is going to be

a test

That's how you make the grade 

and that's poetiquejustis

But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,
1 Peter 3:15

Untamed

 

 

Don't let them tame you!

Isadora Duncan

You can be

Sociable

Civilized

Flexible

Likeable

That does not mean 

Faceless

 

or 

Faded

That would not be you!

and you were meant to be you!

 That's your glory

And that's poetiquejustis

The LORD your God is with you. He is a hero who saves you. He happily rejoices over you, renews you with his love, and celebrates over you with shouts of joy.

Zephaniah 3:17

The Better Way

 

 

The world is so full of suffering-

and it is also the overcoming of it

Helen Keller

Bad things happen

Good people step in

unkind words hurt

Kind words seek to help

Bad can take away so much

Good can give so much back

Today-

Go...be good to one another

That's the better way 

and that's poetiquejustis

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Romans 12:21

Carry on!

 

Great works are performed not by strength

but by perseverance

Samuel Johnson

Do we really need to climb every mountain?

                                    Or are we meant to find the mountains that will get us to our goal?

                                                                  Nelson Mandela said:

After climbing a great hill,

one only finds that there are many more hills to climb

May  we have the heart to find them

 

and the perseverance to climb them all

That is the joy of living 

and that's poetiquejustis

Endurance produces character, and character produces hope.

Romans 5:4
