Just Moving On

 

 

"Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm."                      

 -Winston Churchill

Can you just imagine....

Hooves thundered all around him

and he just moved on

Howls, and squeals and screeches filled the air

and he just moved on

The world looked nothing like it had before

 and he just moved on

and then...he was there

Now...if he could make it to his goal-

what's stopping you?

and that's poetiquejustis

Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. 

But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 3:13-14

Just Wait and See

 

Tis always morning somewhere in the world

Richard Henry Horne

Somewhere, your hope is waiting to be found

Somewhere, your dream is waiting to dance with you

Somewhere, the yesterdays are gone and the todays are everlasting

Somewhere, it is morning, and you can begin anew

                                                   And that's poetiquejustis
I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, 
Psalm 130:6

May It Be

 

If suffer we must

let us suffer on the heights

Victor Hugo

If we find ourselves alone today 

may it be because

We showed too much mercy

We offered too much grace

We had too little fear of tomorrow

We dreamed too many dreams today

Antoine De Saint-Exupery said:

What worth are convictions that bring not suffering?

So if we must suffer,

let us suffer from heights

and that's poetiquejustis

But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. 

"Do not fear their threats; do not be frightened."

1 Peter 3:14

What I am Hoping

 

 A strong mind always hopes 

and always has cause to hope.

Thomas Carlyle

Hope

Victor Frankl tells us loss of hope

is harder to overcome than loss of the material

Hope

It is that belief of Annie's in the sun coming up

Hope

It is what gets us out of bed

It keeps us searching for answers

Keeps us believing in our dreams

Hope is the greatest gift we can give to the day

And that the day can give us in return

Hope

is what I hope for you

today

and that's is poetiquejustis

A strong mind always hopes, and has always cause to hope.

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess for He who promises is faithful.

Hebrews 10:23

Tell Me What You See

 

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower

William Blake

To be amazed by the very least

 

To be awestruck by the very small

To be completely filled by the tiniest of blessings

And overcome by the very least of joys

That is great riches

and that is poetiquejustis

“The Lord bless you and keep you;  

the Lord make his face shine on and be gracious to you

the Lord turn his face toward you
    and give you peace.”

Numbers 6:24-26

Yesteray When I Was Sad

 

Don't waste your time away

thinking about yesterday's blues

Jon Bon Jovi

Yesterday's blues

The red rage of anger

The green of envy

The golden promises of today

Choose your color

and you paint your world

and that's poetiquejustis

I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

Genesis 9:13

Connected

"The fundamental delusion of humanity is to suppose 

that I am here and you are there."

~ Yasutani Roshi 

We are all in this together

Though we rush around in our own clouds

So immersed in our own lives that we seem so far apart

We are all in this together

Today

Feel the connection

 Because we are all in this thing called life

Together

and that's poetiquejustis

Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? 

Any fellowship together in the Spirit? 

Are your hearts tender and compassionate?

Philippians 2:1
