Drinking from My Saucer
I've never made a fortune, and it's probably too late now.
But I don't worry about that much, I'm happy anyhow
And as I go along life's way,
I'm reaping better than I sowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.
Haven't got a lot of riches,
and sometimes the going's tough
But I've got loving ones all around me,
and that makes me rich enough.
I thank GOD for his Blessings,
and the Mercies HE's bestowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.
I remember times when things went wrong,
My faith wore somewhat thin.
But all at once the dark clouds broke,
and the sun peeped through again.
So LORD, help me not to gripe,
about the tough rows I have hoed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.
If GOD gives me strength and courage,
When the way grows steep and rough.
I'll not ask for other blessings,
I'm already Blessed enough.
And may I never be too busy,
to help others bear their loads..
Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.
When I think of how many people in this world have it worse than I do, I realize just how BLESSED WE really are.

10530Beth, my dear one - this was really a blessing to me today - thank you for sharing it - I have read this and heard this many times - but with each - it does the same to me - I have leaking eyes - I guess it is 'Cause my cup has overlflowed." Love to you.
I wanted to insert a lovly picture of a tea cup with purple flowers for you - but now you will just have to imagine them - as the picture link on this part of CUTE doesn't work.
