Spring is all around us!  Flowers have been blooming, berries are getting ripe, the grass is green, and the weather is amazing!  Stop and realize how blessed we are:  the people in our lives; the abundance we enjoy; the love we receive from Almighty God!  Someone put it well in this poem about “Drinking 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
And as I go along my journey,  I'm reaping better than I sowed.
I'm drinking from my 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 for the blessings, that His mercy has bestowed.
I'm drinking from my 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.

May your cup overflow again today … and may you have eyes of faith to see it!
