My Cup Runneth Over And Then I Spilled. 4-13-16

Good Morning.

Wednesday is in the batters box ready to take a swing.  This day deserves a big cup of Door County Harvest Blend Coffee.  That will contribute to a few home runs today!!!

Psalm 23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;  You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.

When our nephew Matt was little we would do a family pizza night with my parents. Matt would always fill his glass with Mountain Dew. The glass was usually the largest size available. We would all brace ourselves for what would come eventually. Despite being as cautious as he could be our table would get a Mountain Dew bath. We would clean up the table and the restaurant.  Matt would feel bad and stare at the empty glass which we adults should never have let be filled to the top. We then would refill it half way and pray that the soda would find it's way to his mouth.

There are times in life that we are blessed beyond measure. We forget to slow down and save for a rainy day. Or we forget to share with others.  When the cup of life runs over with good things we need to be good stewards of the blessings and capture the abundance to save it and share. To squander blessings or to lose them to carelessness is like giving a five year old a cup too big and filled to the rim. Once it is spilled it is gone and it doesn't feel so good. You stare at a glass that is empty, not knowing if it will be refilled.

So save some of those blessings. Make sure to protect them and share with others.

God bless.

Marty
