Today's Words of Wisdom

This is from a man in Jamaica named George McPhee. I know nothing about him exc ept for this wonderful poem. Enjoy and reflect on your own life.

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. For 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 there are caring folks 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. If God gives me strength and courage when the going gets 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. With them I'll share my saucer, 'cause my cup has overflowed.

How about your cup? Is it overflowing .... and is that saucer....like mine....almost as bad? Let me know.

  1. Neat rustic poem. My grandson just returned from Jamaica a couple of weeks ago and loved the people there.
