If Teacups Could Talk |
If
teacups could talk, what would they say?
What stories would they tell?
Would you be happy for them to share
Your whole life in detail?
What
things did you say when they were around?
Were they words that built up or tore down?
Were you busy spreading gossip?
Perhaps, the latest rumor going 'round?
If
teacups could talk, what would they say?
Would you want anyone else to know?
Would they speak favorably of what you do?
Of where you've been and where you go?
Would
they speak of harsh words spoken
When no one else was around?
Or were you praising your Lord and others
Living the Truth that you had found?
If
teacups could talk, do you suppose
That they have also cried?
Did they ever hear the story
Of how your Savior lived and died?
Did
they shed some tears
When you forgot the Lord each day?
Wasting time by being so busy
With no time left to pray?
If
teacups could talk, I'm sure they'd say,
Make the most of the cup you're given.
One day you'll be old, cracked and worn out,
Close to the door of Heaven.
Pour
into your cup each day
A life of beauty, holiness, and love.
So that it might be poured out on others
Bringing them closer to the Lord above.
