Today finds me purging through my old files, yet again. It is so easy to accumulate things over the years, especially when it has that “I may need this someday” vibe to it. Well, that day has come! Here is an anonymous poem that I dusted off for your enjoyment and reflection.
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 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.
O, remember times when things went wrong,
My faith wore somewhat thin.
But all at once the dark clouds broke,
And sun peeped through again.
So Lord, help me not to gripe about
The tough rows that I’ve 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.
You set a table before me in front of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. ~Psalm 23:5
We need to ask God to send his blessings down upon us. Find out why here.
