Fill it up

You have them and so do I.
   Some friends are so positive - it's easy to describe them saying their glass is HALF FULL. On the other hand (do I sound like Tevia?) some friends are not so positive - it's easy to describe them by saying their glass is HALF EMPTY.
   I'd must rather be the first wouldn't you?  And I certainly enjoy the company of those friends more than the latter.
   I was talking with my friend, Tamra and it sounded pretty much like my glass is half empty. She shared a new take on the old saying.
  "What matters most is that the glass is ALWAYS refillable",  she said.
  And that's what I really want.
  There are times when I am tired or sad or just  plain disappointed about the direction of my life.
   Sometimes I can get down right  - well - you get my drift without me using any profane description right?
   I remember a John W. Peterson song from so many years ago.  The name of it is Fill My Cup, Lord.
   Using the Woman at the Well as a resource, the song tells us that all of us are just like empty cups but that they can be filled - with God's love.  The last lines of the refrain say Fill my cup; fill it up and make me whole.
   I also remember one year when I had been feeling a little empty or blue and I heard my friend, John Nill sing Ho, Everyone Who is Thirsty based on some verses in Isaiah 55.  The last lines of that song give us hope.
          I will pour water on him that is thirsty, 
          I will pour floods upon the dry ground;
          Open your hearts for the gifts I am bringing; 
          While ye are seeking Me, I will be found.”
Hum - I just needed to be reminded.
My cup can be filled again!
