The Cup!

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!
