One Cup of Life at a Time

 

Only those who are not well balanced are easily upset

Poetiquejustis

Got your feet under you?

Not always letting off steam?

Not bothered by the little things?

Good!

Oh....you may slosh now and then

 We all do

but if you you can keep your sense of humor

It is all going to be just fine

and that's poetiquejustis

You anoint my head with oil; 

my cup overflows. Psalm 23:5

Processing Life

 

The good life is a process, 

not a state of being. 

It is a direction not a destination.
Carl Rogers

Deciding what is good in life

can take a lifetime

Or you may discover it 

in the blink of an eye

                                                      But you must search for it yourself

In fact, if you let others tell you what it is

 

You will never find it.

Finding what is good in life is different 

 

than finding the good life

But one leads to the other

 

and  that is the journey

 

you want to take

and that's poetiquejustis 

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

Colossians 3:15

Sit This One Out

 

While armchair travelers dream of going places,

traveling armchairs dream of staying put.

Anne Tyler

Where is it that we want to go?

Where is it that we feel the need to be other than where we are?

What is it over the hill or over the sea or over the wall that calls us?

Did you ever wonder if someone was wanting to be where you are right now?

That is quite possible

and that's poetiquejustis

Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,

 and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 23:6

Get a Clue!

 

'There is nothing like first-hand evidence.'

Sherlock Holmes- A Study in Scarlet

Never let living become second nature

 

or second hand!

Get out there!

 

Grab each day as the mystery it is

and search

for those things that make you

feel alive

Freya Stark 

the author and cartographer

said

“There can be no happiness if the things 

we believe in are different from the things we do."

Today 

find the evidence

first hand

of that in which you believe-

then live it

and that's poetiquejustis 

“The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law."

Deuteronomy 29:29

Sensational!

 

We are in part what our senses take in

Eknath Eswaran

Savor

Draw in

Delight

Delve

Come to your senses

and bring your senses to life

And that's poetiquejustis

Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy, your whole body also is full of light.

Luke 11:34

Eat Dessert First!

 

Bread cast upon the waters is much more nourishing and wholesome
than pie in the sky

Melvin Jones.

Maybe...but what if you give that pie a chance to fly?

Dreaming big dreams!

Making even bigger plans!

 

Taking even BIGGER action

Because no idea is half baked if you put enough YOU in to the recipe.

Then, throw that pie up in to the sky

And give it some wings!

and that's poetiquejustis

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for 

and certain of what we do not see.

Hebrews 11:1

Dividends!

 

Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow there will be sun.

Annie

Having an interest in those around you

Investing in others

Banking on our communities

Sharing the dividends of love with others

Now that is an economy we should all be able to agree on!

and that's poetiquejustis

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matthew 6:21
