You just got a glass (your favorite glass) from your cupboard and put it on your kitchen table. Then you open the door to your refrigerator to get the jug of milk (maybe it's soy milk, cashew milk, or even chocolate milk) and pour the milk into the glass, filling it all the way to the top. Then what do you do when you return the milk jug to the refrigerator and turn back only to find that your glass is half full? Here are some options:
1. Get the milk jug again, pour more quickly, and leave the jug on the table.
2. Scream, "Who the %@$&* drank my milk!"
3. Scream, "Who the %@$&* drank my milk!" and then realizing you live alone scream, "AHHH!"
4. Drink from the jug, just try not to put anything back in the jug.
5. Contemplate what the glass half full means. Or it is half empty? Is my glass half full or half empty? For that matter is my heart half full or half empty? The longer you go with this you may ask if your brain is half full or half empty, and the longer you contemplate this you see that there is no more milk in your glass - Don't know what you got til its gone. Now you are really thirsty!
6. Purchase a small dairy farm, and wherever the large bin of milk is (if dairy farms have such things), hook a hose to it and put the hose to your glass so that even if your glass may have a leak (which you can tell it does by the title of this post), you still have plenty more where that came from.
7. Purchase a large dairy farm, and make your you have a hose that is attached to an almost inexhaustible supply so that even if the glass leaks you will have plenty not only for you but for your whole family, and even for people who sneak into your house to drink from your milk. Your could even hold a contest of who can drink the milk before it all leaks out.
8. If your inexhaustable supply from #7 is being depleted quicker than you would like you should purchase more cows and stick them with steroids so much so that they fill your supply at a rate that is higher than it is leaking our - for this you may need shifts of cos since it leaks 24 hours a day, and quickly.
9. Notice that your house is filled with milk, and although one of your dreams was swimming in a pool of chocolate milk and that is being realized, your house is now damaged and the milk has mingled with the toilet water - and toilet water doesn't taste so good. So now you leave and ask a family member to let you live at their house, but they already loaned you money for your dairy farm and are done helping you, so you contemplate again how full or empty your life is.
"You have planted much but harvest little. You eat but are not satisfied. You drink but are still thirsty. You put on clothes but cannot keep warm. Your wages disappear as though you were putting them in pockets filled with holes!" Haggai 1:6 6
