Within Your Grasp- Beyond Your Reaach

 

"The slender threads that move us forward"

Sue Bender

The whispers

The fleeting thought

The impression

These are the things that move our lives forward

These are the things that our heart reaches for

These are the things that are real 

 

Don't let them slip away

and that's poetiquejustis

"Be still, and know that I am God"

Psalm 46:10

The Charted Course

 

Let him who would enjoy a good future waste none of his present

Roger Babson

Look ahead

But no too far

Chart your course

But do not lose your way in the moment

Embrace tomorrow

By living well today

and that's poetiquejustis

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything; 

you may have an abundance for every good deed

2 Corinthians 9:8

One Place at a Time

 

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.

and that's poetiquejustis

 

In the way of righteousness there is life;

along that path is immortality

Proverbs 12:28

Think it over

 

The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice

George Eliot

To grow 

When you choose to grow

is it to grow in power?

or simply in wealth?

or only to gain  knowledge?

Or will you choose the better

The real

The lasting

 and grow in your humanity

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr earned the right to say:

An individual has not started living until he can rise above 

the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns 

to the broader concerns of all humanity.

You may not be able to reach out to millions today

But you can reach the person next door

or in the next office

That is being human

and that's poetiquejustis

Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Galatians 6:2

The Heights

 

No bird soars too high

if he soars with his own wings

William Blake

Go ahead!

Soar

Flutter

Be focused

Go for it!

Just make sure you know

your wings

 Know who you are

and then you will know how to "fly"

and that's poetiquejustis

 But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles

Isaiah 40:31

Sit This One Out

 

 

 I don't think you can write novels on the road.

Leonard Cohen

 Life on the run

 

Life on a merry-go-round

 

Life  always

 

A traveling circus

 

It can happen even if you stay in one place

A peaceful life begins in the heart

 

Moves to the head

 

And lands you on your feet

 And from there, the sky is the limit.

And that's poetiquejustis

 

Let your roots grow down into Him, and let your lives be built on Him. 

Colossians 2:27

Make Them Count

 

The talent is in the choices.

Robert De Niro

There are things you cannot choose

Your height

Where you were born

Forget about those things

Make the choices you can

Make them well and make them count

Stop wasting talent on what you cannot change

and use your talent

to make the choices

that make a change

and that's poetiquejustis

As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another,

 as good stewards of God's varied grace

1 Peter 4:10
