Just some thoughts...

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

Know It or Not

 

To succeed in life you need two things:
ignorance and confidence
Mark Twain
It is not what you know
It is not even who you know


It is ignoring what you think you do not know
And doing what you thought you did not know
until you know it-

And that just may get you where you want to go.
and that's poetiquejustis
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7

HOPENESS

 

Hope is the most exciting thing
there is in life
Mandy Moore


Here is how it works



























Get the idea?
I hope you do

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

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.

Where We've Never Been

 

My favorite thing is to go where I have never been
Diane Arbus

Flights of imagination



Thoughts that take wing



Dreams that move you up up and away


Grab on!
Let it lift you


To somewhere you have never been
But someplace you have always known
and that's poetiquejustis
 The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.
Deuteronomy 31:8

Out on the Country Lanes

 A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere.

Groucho Marx
Off the beaten path
There are ways to think and ways to see
Off the beaten path
The path that has been beaten
has little left to say
Just learn from those who beat that path
And beat your own today!

and that's poetiquejustis
So his master said, 'Go out into the country lanes and behind the hedges
 and urge anyone you find to come, so that the house will be full.
Luke 14:23

Rooted

 

Gardening is an exercise
in optimism
Maria Schinz


You have to keep an eye on any garden 

for weeds 


and visitors

How much more so


The garden of you soul


Yank bitterness out by the roots!


Weed out the unkind thoughts



Leave the rest to grow

in the sunshine of your smile
and that's poetiquejustis
And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden 
in the cool of the day
Genesis 3:8

You Have a Gift to Give

 

"First find the peace within; then give it away." 
 ~ Elsa Joy Bailey

con·flict: to come into collision or disagreement;

be contradictory, at variance, or in opposition; clash

Global conflicts

People conflicts

 Conflicting opinions

 

Conflicting interests

All of these are nothing compared to a conflicted YOU

Peace must grow

 from within

 Or it does not begin at all 

Go. 
Find peace within yourself
and then give it away- 
Like starter for sourdough bread-
Just give someone a bit of their own
and both of you will be fed

and that's poetiquejustis
2 Corinthians 13:11  Finally, brothers, rejoice. Aim for restoration, comfort one another, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.

Just Passing Through

 

And all the windows of my heart 
I open to the day
John Greenleaf Whittier
The sunshine of smiles
The mist of tears
The winds of change
The fog of sadness
The chill of pain
The warmth of love
Make a room in your heart for all
And welcome each as a friend
They are all a part of living
and just passing through
and that's poetiquejustis 
 .... for I have learned to be content in whatever situation I am in.
Philippians 4:11
