Enjoy the coffee

[Grasshopper]

A group of alumni,highly established in their careers,got together to visit their old university professor.
Conversation soon turned into complaints about the 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,such as procelain,plastic,glass,crystol,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 but 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 the coffee.
Not the cup.
But you consciously went for the best cups.Then you began eyeing each others' cups.
Now consider this---
Life is the coffee.
The jobs,money and positions 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.Blessed be to God.
