Days that Drop In

 

The best thing about the future

is that it comes one day at a time.

Abraham Lincoln

When there is a storm

I very rarely pay attention to the torrent

I like to watch the raindrops on the window

Make their way slowly

Avoiding some drops

Joining forces with others   

Moving forward without knowing where it all will  end

Single drops that  never bother to look inside the window at me

But  simply move along the path

Leaving the future

the torrent 

and me

 to find our own way

And that's poetiquejustis 

There will be a shelter to give shade from the heat by day, and refuge and protection from the storm and the rain. - See more at: http://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Rain#sthash.np3199qq.dpuf

There will be a shelter to give shade from the heat by day,

 and refuge and protection from the storm and the rain. 

Isaiah 4:6

The Root of the Solution

 Gardens are not made by singing 'Oh, how beautiful,' and sitting in the shade.

Rudyard Kipling

 

Uproot the bitterness

 

Prune back the gloomy face

 

Plant seeds of hope in your own heart

 

 Then share the bounty!

Share a smile

 

Share a kind word

Problem solved

and that's poetiquejustis

Break up the fallow ground. 

Hosea 10:12

That's Right

I had the right to remain silent... but I didn't have the ability.

Ron White

The next time someone says something mean to you

You have the right to react kindly

When someone is rude to you

You have the right to be kind to them in return

You have the right to be patient and gentle

You have the right to be different!

You have the right

 

to stay above it all 

Know your rights!

and that's poetiquejustis

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Proverbs 15:1

 

Need to Know

Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention,

Herbert Simon

 

Need to know

Need to own

Need to have

Need to be

Needing to need 

is a real need indeed

But too much of a need

may just be a little greed

Find out how much God has given you and

 from it take what you need; 

the remainder is needed by others.

Saint Augustine

 

Anybody?

I always wondered why somebody doesn't do something about that. 

Then I realized I was somebody.

Lily Tomlin

"somebody should do something about that..."

"somebody should write a letter...."

"somebody should get that fixed..."

"somebody should say something..."

Somebody is going to be very busy if we don't lend a hand!

and that's poetiquejustis

Do not refrain from doing what is excellent as long as you are able.

Proverbs 3:27

 

Searching for...

A Little Something

Time for a little something

A A Milne

Today, I need a little something

a little bit of

A little laughter

I need a little cottage

Where the wildflowers can watch me grow

I need a little

A little rest

A little quiet

Today, I just need a little something

so I will have

a little something to give

I know there is a little something around here somewhere

 

I don't quite remember where I left it

 

 But today, I am off to find it

And that is poetiquejustis

 

 Do not despise these small beginnings, 

for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin

Zechariah 4:10

 

Kickin' It

 Genius is mainly an affair of energy

Matthew Arnold

 

A pile of bricks turn into a house

When you add energy

 

Ingredients turn into a cake

 

When you add energy

 

 

A chain of days turn into a life

When you add energy

 

Paulo Coelho said:

When you are enthusiastic about what you do, you feel this positive energy. It's very simple. 

Other great minds agree

Don't you?

And that's poetiquejustis

Never be lazy in your work, but serve the Lord enthusiastically.

Romans 12:11
