Keep the Homefires Burning

I'm drinking from my saucer, 'cause my cup has overflowed!

Bills, behavior, and burdens. Those are the things weighing me down. HOWEVER, as I look around the home the Lord has provided us, peruse pictures of my children, my husband and my family, I realize how deeply I have been blessed. For those of you feeling a bit overwhelmed by the world I offer this bit of comfort:

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 saucer
'cause my cup has overflowed.

Haven't got a lot of riches,
and sometimes the going's tough,
but I've got loved ones all around me
and that makes me rich enough.
I thank God for all 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'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 saucer,
'cause my cup has overflowed.

This is a great poem. Did you write this?

Sometimes we need these friendly little reminders of how much we really have!

Do you mind if I use this poem on another site that I'm on?

Hope you are having a great Friday!
