Bottom scratches

by Bruce Wadd

 

When was the last time you looked into the bottom of your coffee cup? (Your tea cup? for those tea lovers)  If you can’t remember, check now!  What do you see?

 

If it’s anything like mine, there are many scratches!

 

Imagine the number of conversations, the myriad of stories, the intimate moments, the many life circumstances uncovered around those etches on the inside of your cup.

 

If you’re younger, you may not get this! If you’re getting older… like me… you’ll just give a knowing smile!  Look at the wrinkles and the grey hair around… and I wonder how similar they are to the scratches?

 

With time come bumps and bruises, but hopefully with wisdom attached!

Here’s a gem from the Proverbs… 

 

“Be with wise men and become wise.

Be with evil men and become evil.”

          Proverbs 13:20

 

  TODAY!  Choose well who you drink with!
