The Cup!

A drink of life

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your life is like the cup.

It does not matter if the cup is half empty or half  full.

All that matters is the fact that you have a cup at all.

It's your cup and only you can choose what goes in or out.

Some spill it in waste.

Some fill it and hoard it until it's rotten.

Some fill it just to boast about it.

Personally I fill it throughout the day with truth, goodness and joy.

And I seek to empty it into cups that have nothing.

This keeps the cup clean and fresh, ready for the day to come.

Today is a day that the Lord has made so rejoice and be glad in it.

Because you still have a cup!

My cup runneth over reading this one, you are so right my friend, oft times we forget those little tidbits when our cup feels empty....thanks for sharing, great message!

I couldn't agree more. Some people unfortunately get so caught up on what they don't have or how what they do have is not good enough, they forget to appreciate having anything at all. Be grateful for what you have. I love the message you send here. Very positive outlook.

Your cup runneth over! What a lovely way to think and how well put down in words!

[OTownPete]

There's a wonderful attitude of giving in yours words, metaphorically speaking. Your friend in wors, Pete

[Lydia Shutter]

A wonderful metaphor carried throughout this one, William. It is true, we need to be aware of what is in our "cup" and be thankful we have it. I liked the soft spirituality in this. Lydi**
