FILLING JARS


All of us have heard the story of the collage professor that brought in a glass jar to class. He filled the jar with large rocks and asked the class if the jar was full. “Yes” they replied. He thanstarted to put smaller rocks in with the large ones filling the jar to the top. When asked if the jar was full the class replied “yes”.
The professor then started to pour sand into the jar until it was full to the top. Was it full? The class replied “yes”!
He than poured water into the jar filling it to the top.
The point? There are a lot of things that try to fill up our lives. Small rocks, sand, water. If we don’t hold our family and friends close and make sure they have space inside our jar first, it will be filled with everything else.


At least that is what I think.
