Be of good cheer!

 

Every man must bide his time

in constant, cheerful, steady endeavors.

H. W. Longfellow

Wrapping up your dreams for the days to come

Putting a bow on all that is ahead

Making that list of all that matters

and then promising yourself

that the gift that is you

is something you will share

with the world.

And that's poetiquejustis

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

A Season of Magic

 

The world is its own magic.

S. Suzuki

Smile and you cast a magic spell

on all around you

Laugh and you share the magic 

with the world

Sing

  and the magic reaches the stars

in the words of J B Priestly

I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, 

a fresh try, one more start, 

with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning.

The magic is waiting!

and that's poetiquejustis

The LORD'S loving kindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassion never fails. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.

"The LORD is my portion," 

says my soul, 

"Therefore I have hope in Him."…

Lamentations 3:22-24

Season of Hope

 

Don't be afraid to give up the good and go for the great!

Kenny Rogers

A season of renewal!

A season of Joy!

A season of  Hope!

A time of peace when the heart can be as still as the fallen snow

A time of wonder

A time to feel the greatness of it all.

and time to remember where the greatness truly abides

and that's poetiquejustis

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Sing With the Angels!

 

 

"God Bless us- everyone"

The angels are singing

The sky is alight

The Hope of the world

Was born Christmas night

Our hearts hear their music

There is so much to tell

Our lives changed forever

God with us-

 Emmanuel

Something More of Nothing

 

Besides the noble art of getting things done,

there is a nobler art of leaving things undone

Lin Yutang

How many sunsets will you let go by

How many moments in front of the fire will you miss

How many laughs

How many dreams

How many moments

Will you let slip away

while you are busy doing other things

Today

Stop being busy long enough

To get something important

                                                                           done


                                                               and that's poetiquejustis

 Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word.  But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me.” But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things;  but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”

The Road You Travel

 

As you start to walk out on the way

the way appears

Rumi

Everyone knows where they are going

because

there are only two directions

forward

or back

Behind you is the empty space

of yesterday

and things no longer real

Move forward

and the way

will appear

and that's poetiquejustis

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. 

No one comes to the Father except through me."

How Miraculous

 

Out of difficulties

grow miracles

Jean de Bruyere

No matter where you find yourself

No matter how barren it all seems

No matter how alone you are

Your life can grow in to a miracle

and that's poetiquejustis

 Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are.

Luke 12:27
