A group meets
for coffee. I carefully select my cup,
trying to choose the cup that reflects my personality or mood of the day. Then, wait for it, as we are visiting, I
notice someone else’s cup that is even MORE me.
I think to myself that I wish I had chosen THAT cup.
Am
I alone here? Has that ever happened to
you?
If
it has, what does that signify in our lives?
I’m guessing
that the professor in this short video is on to something. We often want the best of jobs, paychecks, positions (at work, on the school board,
at church, in the neighborhood, in our family) but getting these cause us so
much stress and really do not bring happiness and peace to our professional and
private lives. Not only that, we strive
for the same for our children, thus compounding the pressure at home. Then we look around at others – at their “cups” - and see how ours compare.
Ugh!
What if,
instead, we concentrate on the “coffee”?
Imagine a world where, instead of wanting the BEST for ourselves and our children, we simply want to enjoy coffee
with one another.
This video
speaks to that part of me. I hope it
does to you too. Enjoy!
Thanks for your
time,
Lori
Prayer: This
is the day the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm
118:24
Action:
Next time you are at coffee with a group, simply take the cup closest to
you and savor the moment. Savor. Savor.
Savor.
