SUNDAY CHOICE – Drinking from my saucer – by Charles Schokman

Why is it critical for us to recognize the blessings that are overflowing from our personal cups into our saucers?

Simply, it is God’s Wish that we acknowledge His hand in all things and we need to offer our thanks to Him.

This poem has been very inspirational to me because its message is not to be casually thankful for the obvious, rather, it points out the vast opportunities we have to acknowledge and be filled by the ever-flowing abundance of God’s love for us. 

Our imperfections set our own limitations on gratitude. We might be guilty of thanking Him for a limited amount of blessings because we have failed to put wide-angle lenses on our soul to see the vast quantity of blessings around us to really be thankful for. Some expressions of gratitude fall short of the God’s expectations.

SUNDAY CHOICE - Drinking from my saucer – by Charles Schokman

Joy and happiness are born of gratitude – Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

Always be Happy; always wear a Smile, Not because Life is full of reasons to Smile, but because your Smile itself maybe a reason for many others to Smile. The Greatest Thing In Life Is Love And The Second Is Laughter..

Let us be able to sing– Running over, Running over, my cup is full and Running over. Since the Lord saved me I’am happy as can be: My cup is full and running over.
