Are You a Bucket or a Cup
I have thought about this long and hard
It is something that always puts us on guard
I’m not sure why, when all we have to do is stop
We know when we pour past any rim things begin to drop
We must learn not everyone is a bucket
You know some of us are still cups
It’s not their fault they are just not big or mature enough
To keep all of your secrets and to hold on to all of your dreams
So we must learn to not talk so much no matter how hard that may seem
A cup and a bucket are very different even though they both are round
If you don’t believe me when you hold them in your hand just take a look down
Are You A Bucket Or a Cup
A cup is very little and doesn’t hold that much
A bucket is very large and a lot stronger and we have to mention tough
So why do we take our biggest problems and pour them into little cups
And when they start to spill out we want to get angry and fuss
When God has given us buckets all throughout our lives
And now that we know what they are for
We should use them but still be wise
Yes your buckets ~ your mothers, your aunts and your closest true friends
Trust me if God gave them to you for real
They have enough room for you to pour in
And the best part of buckets is that buckets come with lids
You will never see, hear or smell anything that you have poured into them again
John 15:13
There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

Hi sis,
When this concept was introduced to me by you, it opened my eyes and made me understand why things are not always equal when sharing your feelings, thoughts, ups and downs with others. So now, I accept my responsibility and do not question why as much. I am know longer looking for people to listen to me, or ask me how I am doing, or even show concern for me. I now know that those I am suppose to pour into may be few, but they are able to hold all my stuff; just as I have held much stuff that, others pour into me. Thanks for sharing and helping me to understand the different roles people have in my life.
Angie,
Thanks for being my bucket!!!! Maybe for me that would be a barrel!! LOL
Rhonda
Oh my God Ann,
You have really out done yourself with this one. There is a certain amount of intuitiveness that goes along with pouring out your secrets and filling the buckets of others. We must know who has our best interest at heart. God always does but our earthly confidants may not. We should perhaps bear witness to others only when it provides a spiritual healing for both parties huh!!!!
love ya
