Sunday's Coffee Conversation

 

I love this analogy!

You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere.

Why did you spill the coffee?

"Because someone bumped into me!!!"

Wrong answer.

You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup.

Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea.

*Whatever is inside the cup is what will spill out.*

Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled.

*So we have to ask ourselves... “what's in my cup?"*

When life gets tough, what spills over?

Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility?

Anger, bitterness, harsh words and reactions?

Life provides the cup, YOU choose how to fill it.

Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation; and kindness, gentleness and love for others.

MacKenzie Childs: Coffee Mug and Other Fun Cups

Domino Magazine  recently had an article on mugs with interesting handles.  I admit that they are cute, but none so cute as my classic MacKenzie-Childs Coffee Mug. 

It does not have a fun handle per se (though still different), but its hand-painted courtly check pattern with stripes is a win every time in my estimation. 

A.  Circle Mug 

B.  Teensy Squiggle

C.  Chubby Cup

D.  Wiggly Wave

E.  Extra-Extra Long One

F.  Loop de Loop

Still the One for Me!!

Thou preparest a table before me 

in the presence of mine enemies: 

thou anointest my head with oil; 

my cup runneth over.

MacKenzie Childs: My Dedicated Coffee Station

A coffee station/coffee bar has been on my bucket list since joining Instagram. People show their love of dedicated coffee stations there. Most likely staged, but still ... 

Which coffee are you? 

The stations can be as expensive, large, and elaborate as can be.  Mine is small in size and simple:  electric Gevalia coffee maker on a white metal cart; sugar & creamer, flavor bottles and towels on the side. 

However, I am the proud owner of a cool-looking, bright coffee light by MacKenzie-Childs ; and a Hobby Lobby coffee sign (plus my favorite Hobby Lobby mirror close by).  Yep, a little bit of daily coffee will do, but a WHOLE LOT more of  the Lord Jesus Christ.  Fill me up, Lord.  Every day. All the day.

International Coffee Day 2018

Aging has its benefits --- for people and for coffee, as studies continue to reveal.  In the world of coffee aficionados, the best flavor comes from beans that have been "monsooned", or stored in an open-air warehouse where the beans are exposed to the tropical elements for approximately 16 weeks.  The added moisture and wind result in a low-acid, full-body brew.  The process mimics shipping methods of the 1600s, when coffee from India travelled to Europe aboard sailing vessels.  The journey took up to six months, with the beans soaking up the moist air.  As shipping methods became faster, coffee got a sharper taste.

Maybe all that natural aging has increased its health benefits too.  Recent medical research indicates that drinking coffee lowers a person's chances of getting colon cancer, gallstones, cirrhosis of the liver, Parkinson's disease, and type 2 diabetes.  Plus, coffee helps control asthma and alleviates headaches.

As it turns out, Americans drink so much coffee that coffee is the number one source of antioxidants in their diet.  Take that, fruits and vegetables.
