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 /><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 /><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 /><br />So Lord, help me not to gripe, <br />about the tough rows I have hoed. <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 /><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 />When I think of how many people <br />in this world have it worse than I do.<br />I realize just how lucky I really am.
<br />But I am smarter than this girl. Read on.<br />One morning a girl, called her friend and said, "Please come <br />over and help me, I have this awesome jigsaw puzzle, and I <br />can't figure out how to start it".<br /><br /> The friend asked, "What is it a puzzle of?"<br /><br /> The girl said, "From the picture on the box, it's a tiger."<br /><br />The friend figures that she's pretty good at puzzles so she heads on over the <br />girl's house.<br /><br /> The girl lets her friend in the door and shows her where she has the puzzle <br />spread all over the table. The friend studies the pieces for a moment, then <br />studies the box, and then she looks at the pieces again for a bit. The <br />friend then turns to the girl and says, "First, no matter what I do, I'm not <br />going to be able to show you how to assemble these pieces to look like the <br />picture of that tiger. Second, I'd advise you to relax, have a cup of <br />coffee, and put all these Frosted Flakes back in the box.
