SABRINA Many of you are sitting at the table or getting ready for work – with a cup of coffee either in your hand or nearby. A friend recently shared this analogy, and I think it is worth sharing! You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you, or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere. WHY did you spill the cup of coffee? Our first response, is “because someone bumped into me. Wrong answer. You spilled your coffee because there was coffee in your cup! Had there been tea, you would have spilled tea. Whatever is inside the cup is what will spill out. Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It’s easy to fake it, until you get rattled. So, this morning, ask yourself, what is in YOUR cup? When life comes along, what will spill out of YOUR cup? Joy, gratefulness, peace, and humility, or anger, bitterness, harsh words and reactions?
