" "They say you can't pour from an empty cup" - True.  But I say even when your cup is full, don't pour into leaking vessels. They will drain you and make you empty. I pray you be wise, know the place of your calling, go there, pour, refill and overflow! Continue in your place of assignment." - Martha I. Iyen
