Shivering in the cold,
walking briskly,
holding the cup with both hands.
A thought came to me,
a metaphor it's called,
but it seemed to be true.
The metaphor,
to be explained clearly,
is this...
The cold is life,
our troubles,
our problems.
God is the cup of hot chocolate,
warming us, both
inside and out.
When we pass someone in need,
we give them a drink,
filling their cup.
Then God,
being the loving, caring God he really is,
refills our own.
It may sound cheesy,
but if you really think,
that's how the ideal christain should act.
So why don't we?
How come we take the whole cup for ourselves?
Love is not love unless shared.
Giving the needy a drink,
doesn't need to be literal.
All it could be is a smile...
