The Thoughts of a Coffee Drinking Vessel

With it being the holiday season we often rely on certain people to hold things together. This has happened for centuries. We call them "the glue". All the pieces come back together because of the glue. However, do we ever consider what the glue goes through? Let's go there. 1) When not needed the glue is ignored. It sits on a shelf for long periods of time without a thought given to the fact that the tip (head) is dried up from a previous use.  2) The glue gets poured out and squeezed in extreme circumstances. Sometimes the person doing the squeezing barely recognizes the strength they are using.  3) The glue is carrying a lot of weight. It is again holding pieces together that carry a mass weight. The glue has to harden itself to hold everything together. 4) Finally, the glue cannot be refilled. Once empty it is thrown away and replaced.  Again I ask, have you ever considered the glue? Consider what (who) you are using. Ask yourself if you want to throw them away.

It's like the concept of being human has completely gone out the window. Can we just get real with people for once in our lives? Tell someone you have been broke, heartbroken, frustrated, fired, whatever it is? Every person does not know the scripture from beginning to end. You don't either. However,
