Posts Tagged ‘cup runneth over’

I used to use say “I’m a glass half full kinda girl” with great pride. 

However,  these days my cup overflows.

Fact is that my life has always been filled to the brim; it’s just that I didn’t always appreciate all the things that fill it.  

As is our human nature, we separate what we see as good from what we see as bad, and count the “good” and discount the “bad.”   God, however, has amazing plans for every thing, every person, every situation, that comes into our lives.     

When we see our glasses, or lives, as half full, it is often because we lack confidence in God to take bad and make it good; we never see beyond sour grapes, while God has planned a fine wine. 

Remember: Content (as in things that are held or included) and content (as in satisfaction) are the same word!  It’s all in where you put the accent! 

As my friend Jane said after we chatted via Email today, may you learn to be con-tent’ with your con’-tent!

Now there is great gain in godliness with contentment, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. — 1 Timothy 6:6-8
