I recieve this article from a sister in Christ, I believe loving is sharing: Enjoy your cup of coffee & Have a great week ahead, May the Lord keep you & Bless you:-)
Coffee Cuppa:
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.
What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups. Now if life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change. Some times, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it."
So, don't let the cups drive you... enjoy the coffee instead, especially for us, who have Lord in our hearts, "Fear not be glad and rejoice for the Lord will do great things in our lives" [Joel 2:21] Know it, proclaim it, and received it...
Coffee Cuppa:
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups -porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive,some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.

Wow this is so meaningful Godwyn.
You are so loving because you love sharing brother :) Have a blessed Easter and week ahead.
Cherish the old rugged cross...
Blessings to you and your loved ones on this holy weekend :)
Thanks for the Cofee Cuppa! I'm blessed.
Happy Easter Sunday!
God loves you and bless you!
Enjoyed that, except I ran into trouble because I thought about how drinking a cup of coffee from a nice cup does actually taste better than in a bad cup. Think about it. Crystal with Starbucks versus styrofoam with Starbucks....but the point is right. This world is not going to last, but we are building up treasures for heaven. Let us put our heart into Christ and let us build up treasures for heaven, not for earth. God bless. (You have Starbucks there?)
Wishing you and your family blessings on Easter.
Thank you for being an encouragement.
God Bless
thanks Godwyn,
you have a great week!
Hi Sister Kitty,
I love as Jesus FIRST loves us ya! I boast not of my love but HIS love for me:-)
Have a bless week ahead!
Yes Sister Audrey,
The old rugged cross, Let's Sing:
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering & shame; & I love that old cross where the dearest & best.
For a World of lost Sinners was slain...
So I cherish the old rugged cross...
Till my tropies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross, & exchange it some day for a crown...
Yes Sister!
Singapore is a developed country, we have almost everything here:-)
Heaps of starbucks all around the island, though we are just like a dot on the World Map!
The good Gospel of Christ, our Lord is widely shared in Singapore blessing our country:-)
Thank you for sharing your view! The Cup or the Coffee...
*Hugs* Sister Warrior,
Happy Easter Sunday!
