My cup has overflowed...

It really has...My cup has overflowed. It's not just some cliche' Christian regurgitation of bad preaching to me...From getting to do life with a wife and family as amazing as mine, to getting to partner in ministry with such a diverse and anointed group of colleagues and coworkers, I've truly experienced the abundant goodness of the Lord, and my cup has overflowed. Perhaps that's why Psalm 23:5 is so special to me. And the account of the Widow's oil in 2 Kings chapter 4...don't even get me started! (shout out to my ABS group)

That being said, I came across a poem today that brought me back to that place of awe and wonder about the Lord's goodness. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

A PRAYER
By: Cindy Martin

I've never made a fortune
just a lot of bills to pay
But I don't worry about that much
I'm happy anyway

As I go along life's way
I'm reaping better than I sowed
And I'm drinking from my saucer
'Cause my cup has overflowed

Haven't got a lot of riches
and sometimes the going's rough
But love is all around me
so I feel 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

So, Lord, give me the strength and courage
when the way grows steep and rough
and bless my fellow travelers
I'm already blessed enough

And may I never be too busy
to help others with their load
Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer
'Cause my cup has overflowed
