I received this email today, and thought it was something to which so many of us can relate. God's Blessings to all!

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.

Oh so true, we should all take the time to realize just how fortunate we are (a good example is Jans uganda project) and blessed as well,
thanks for this
hugs

Thanks. And the best is that when we look back we have had times when even our saucer overflowed. This is a great pick-me-up.

I have a CD of Jimmy Dean that I bought years ago and this was on the CD. If you ever get a chance to hear him I hope ypu will take it because he really gets to you when he talks. I don't know how many of you knew about him but he was a christian who lived what he said, he didn't need to preach.
