hey everyone... i had a great weekend... hopefully you did too.... we were busy all weekend, but it was all fun!!!
i worked on saturday, and we were busy busy!!!! after that we went to my nephews birthday party...which was fun... i got to see my sister in law that i haven't seen in a few months....
and on sunday i went with her to one of those wonderful partylite candle parties... i love the home decor stuff that they sell... so i bought some... :)~ and at the end of the day we had family dinner/bbq at my moms house... so i got to see my little nephew.... awww....he's getting big!!!! i just love holding him....
well i just got an email that had a very interesting story.... so i thought i would copy and paste it on here...because it's very true!!!!! here it is:
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 the Coffee. 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 Normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the Source of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even Hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you Consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing Each other's cups. Now consider this: Life is the coffee; The jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, And the type of cup we have does not define, nor Change the quality of Life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the Coffee God has provided us. "God brews the coffee, not the Cups......... Enjoy your coffee! "The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just Make the best of everything they have." Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.
ok.... i hope you enjoyed that as much as i did.... till next time....
