'Cause My Cup has Overflowed

This little poem was sent to me recently but I don't remember who sent it.  If you are the one, I'd like youto know how much it has meant to me.  Please let me know if it was you.  Thanks,  John "Papa" Barnette.

'Cause My Cup has Overflowed

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 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.


May today there be peace within you. May you trust your
God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
"I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet
 when Our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."


When I think of how many people in this world have it worse
Than I do, I realize just how blessed we really are.
Don't be too busy today...
Share this inspiring message with friends and family.

"Love never gives up, Never loses faith,
Is always hopeful, And endures."

Have a great Day!  Unknown
