Bucket Filler


While searching google for more Bucket filler ideas, I came across a very interesting article.

Are you a Bucket Filler, or a Bucket Dipper?

Do you go through your day filling people's buckets, paying compliments, giving service? Or are your a dipper? Do you forget to think of others, focus on yourself, or gossip?

Today, be a bucket filler. Do something for someone else, to help fill their bucket.

You'll probably get your own bucket filled in the process.

    I like to think that I'm a filler, but I do have my dipping moments.

    Today, I resolve to be a filler!

    Interesting. My #2 daughter embodies this principle to me. I call her a depositor. (As in "in the bank acct of my life.) It's amazing how she adds to whatever situation she is in. Rare withdrawls -and we're all in need of SOME. She is a great example to me of service and work and a great attitude. And no, she did not get all of that from me. In any way!

    This reminds me of an analogy I heard John Bytheway share once. He talked about how we come to church. Do we bring a cup to hold all that we can learn? Do we bring a bucket? Do we put our hand over the cup/bucket?

    I'll be a filler today.

    My brother used this for a talk in Sac. Mtg! We do need to fill others buckets and to do that... well, we have to fill our own too!

    I do my best to be a #1, but I think sometimes I may be a #2.


    Don't go there. :>
