On My Mind...

Here's a sampling of 'what's on my mind' today...

• Tomorrow's Election - scary


• Yesterday's Sermon - it was a good one


• 'Daniel' Bible Study Homework - I'm behind


• Upcoming Travel - travel is always stressful


• Upcoming Holidays - ditto


• Mary Kay Bookings - need some


• Homeschooling Through this Month - more challenging but looking forward to it

But...our kids and their kids are all doing well.

Feeling especially stressed today. Stomach in knots and very tired even with the extra hour this weekend. Good days or bad - it really doesn't matter; I'm blessed beyond measure. Here's a poem a speaker shared a few weeks ago that really struck a chord with me...

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.

I haven't got a lot of riches

And sometimes the going's tough,

But I've got loved 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.

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 God, 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.
