Drinking from Heaven's Cup

My Cup Overflows With More Than Chocolate!


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.



Haven't got a lot of riches,

and sometimes the going's tough

But I've got loving ones all 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 LORD, help me not to gripe, about

the tough rows I have 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.



When I think of how many people in this world have it worse than I do, I realize just how BLESSED WE really are.

Our INSPIRATIONAL FAMILY focus for today comes from the Easter talk by Elder David B. Haight on 'Remembering the Savior's Atonement':  "My thoughts of late have been on our Savior, His atonement, and the effectiveness of our sacrament meetings. When we contemplate the most sacred meetings in the Church, sacrament meeting is one of the most important."
