Luke,
I received this little ditty a short ...Hi Fr. Luke,<br />I received this little ditty a short while ago; and since we're on the subject of joy, I'd just like to share this with you. It's called, "Drinking from my Saucer".<br /><br /><br />I've never made a fortune, and it's probably too late now. <br /> But I don't worry about that much, I'm happy anyhow <br /> And as I go along life's way, <br /> I'm reaping better than I sowed. <br /> I'm drinking from my saucer, <br /> 'Cause my cup has overflowed. <br /><br /> Haven't got a lot of riches, <br /> and sometimes the going's tough <br /> But I've got loving ones all around me, <br /> and that makes me rich enough. <br /> I thank GOD for his Blessings, <br /> and the Mercies HE's bestowed. <br /> I'm drinking from my saucer, <br /> 'Cause my cup has overflowed. <br /><br /> I remember times when things went wrong, <br /> My faith wore somewhat thin. <br /> But all at once the dark clouds broke, <br /> and the sun peeped through again. <br /> So LORD , help me not to gripe, <br /> about the tough rows I have had. <br /> I'm drinking from my saucer, <br /> 'Cause my cup has overflowed. <br /><br /> If GOD gives me strength and courage, <br />When the way grows steep and rough. <br /> I'll not ask for other blessings, <br /> I'm already blessed enough. <br />And may I never be too busy, <br />to help others bear their loads. <br /> Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer, <br /> 'Cause my cup has overflowed. <br /><br />God bless!<br />Robbie Jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7853204965986587589.post-51023892882833699772013-12-17T11:40:37.491+08:002013-12-17T11:40:37.491+08:00Morning Fr Luke, thanks for this timely feature ab...Morning Fr Luke, thanks for this timely feature about the true perception of joy. It's not just a feel good experience that comes and goes. But something much greater. So this advent, we dare to hope more each day (much inspired by you battling on) and to also to love more each day. Sorry you still have to be cloistered but know we'll be thinking of you (and eating more heartily on your behalf). Love, Ignatius & Florence Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
