God's Coffee

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, decided to visit their old university professor. They   16    to walk to the house and on getting into the door, they began chatting with their former professor.    17   , conversation soon turned into   18   about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and   19    with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups-porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some    20    looking, some expensive, some exquisite-telling them to help themselves to the    21   .

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, ''If you    22    ， all the nice looking expensive cups were    23   , leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the    24   of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself adds no   25    to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and, in some cases, even    26   what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you   27   went for the best cups…And then you began   28    each other's cups. ''

Now take this into   29   : Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not   30   , nor change the quality of Life we live. Sometimes, by   31   only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us. '' So, it is vital for us to learn the importance of ''coffee''    32    the wonderful ''cups'', as it may disturb our   33   .

God brews the coffee, not the cups. Enjoy your coffee! ''The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything. '' Live simply. Love generously. Care   34   . Speaking kindly. With all of these things in your mind, you can just leave the   35    to God.
