See To It

 

Without reflection, we go blindly on our way

Margaret Wheatley

Day after day

Running from task to task

Failure to failure

Or victory to victory

it does not really matter

Because suddenly you  realize

It is all been a circle

Time to stop the merry-go-round

long enough to see where you have been

and maybe where you are going!

There..that's better!

And that's poetiquejustis

Be still and know that I am God.

Psalm 46:10

Well Said

 

 

 "Kind words produce happiness." Frederick William Faber

  They come rolling out

 

 Thoughts that have been mixed with experiences

 Hurts that have been given form

 And we offer them up to the world. 

Filtered or not

What if we chose to use our words to bring joy?

To untangle the fears and concerns of others

That would be a feast for the ears

And that's poetiquejustis

We use God's mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.

2 Corinthians 10:4 NLT

Ready, Set, Let Go

 

The readiness is all

William Shakespeare

Ready for anything

Ready for nothing

Ready for today

Ready for tomorrow

Ready to hang on

Ready to let go

                                                        It is all about "the ready"....
                                                      and being steady as you go
                                                         and that's poetiquejustis
                                     But always be prepared to give the reason for the hope that you have.

The Burdens

 

Write your injuries in dust

your benefits in marble

Benjamin Franklin

The wrongs you remember

 will be the dark burden you choose to carry through life

But replace that burden with forgiveness in your heart

And it will carry you in to the light

 and that's poetiquejustis

“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, 

and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven"

Luke 6:37

Take Joy

 

The gloom of the world is but a shadow. 

Behind it- within reach- is joy.

Take joy.

Fra Giovanni

Are you the shadow in the lives of others?

If you are- consider a role change

You can be the gloom

Or the glory

You can be the doom

Or a whole other story

Life has a casting call every day

Choose your part wisely

And play it well

                                  Because today and everyday
                                        your world is watching

and that's poetiquejustis

Give thanks in all circumstances;

 for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus

I Thessalonians 5:18

And yet it moves

 

And yet it moves

Galileo

I do not understand how my days pass from now until tomorrow

and yet it will

I do not feel the time that is passing

and yet it is

I did not feel the dream slipping away

and yet it is gone

I did not see the new dreams arriving

and yet it is here

and that's poetiquejustis 

For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory displayed in the face of Christ.

2 Corinthians 4:6

Convinced?

We convince by our presence

Walt Whitman 

Showing up

Sometimes showing up is all that it takes that is all it takes

Showing up

for the birthday parties

the sad moments

the happy moments

Just showing up to share the moments of life with people

That is convincing

and that's poetiquejustis

And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.

Luke 6:31

 

The Mask on the Task

 

We are all faced with a series of opportunities

brilliantly disguised as impossible situations

Chuck Swindoll

                                                               What disguise is your opportunity wearing?

A new job?

A new home you think you could never afford?

A relationship you think is over?

 

 

Unmask them

and you will find opportunity smiling

and that's poetiquejustis

And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit

2 Corinthians 3:18
