My Pocketbook Friend

November 23, 2010 by Guest Author 1 Comment

Many a time, when forced to wait,
Though I, myself, had not been late,
Finding myself with nothing to do
Until I find what I always knew–
My little friend from my pocketbook!
He seems so small, when first you look,
But he’s so much bigger than them all.
Even though he looks so very small!
I keep him in my purse, right here,
So that he is always near.
When I’m again forced to wait,
My BIble, I read, there at the gate.
Yes, I take it wherever I go,
So that while I wait, I also grow.
‘Tis quite a way to pass the time
In a waiting room, or in a line,
You’ll alwyas have something to do,
If you keep your friend,
your Bible, with you.

Welcome to Come Fill Your Cup!

CFYC About Image Welcome! We are so glad you stopped by. Come Fill Your Cup is a group of Christian ladies dedicated to equipping women for study and service. We know you are busy and that life’s hectic pace pulls you in so many directions, but you can’t truly be the woman God desires unless you take time to fill your own cup…not with spa days (though we love a good spa!) or the latest novel…but with God’s Holy Word. We want to help you with that! Our goal is to reach you in the midst of your busy day and give you encouragement, education, and fellowship as you strive to live the life God has laid before you. Our prayer is that we can help fill your cup so that you, in turn, can overflow to all those around you. So, as we like to say…come fill your cup, and let it overflow!
