 Friday Tale - I Drink From My Saucer 

I've never made a fortune,
And I'll never make one now,
But it really doesn't matter
'cause I'm happy anyhow. 

As I go along my journey
I'm reaping better than I've sowed.
I'm drinking from the saucer
'Cause my cup has overflowed. 

I don't have a lot of riches,
And sometimes the going's tough
But with kin and friends to love me
I think I'm rich enough. 

I thank God to the blessings
That His mercy has bestowed.
I'm drinking from the saucer
'Cause my cup has overflowed. 

He gives me strength and courage
When the way grows steep and rough,
I'll not ask for other blessings for
I'm already blessed enough. 

May we never be too busy
To help bear another load.
Then we'll all be drinking from the saucer
When our cups have overflowed.
~ John Moore 

Now may our God and Father himself and
Jesus our Lord direct our way to you;
and may the Lord cause you to increase
and overflow in love for one another,
and for all people, just as we also do for you.
~ 1 Thessalonians 3:12
