Drinking From My Saucer

I woke up Saturday to find that my cell phone had decided it never wanted to turn on again. I freaked out and immediately got online and ordered another one. Little did I realize that by doing this, I would not have a phone until TUESDAY!!!! I never realized how attached I was until Pat pointed it out. He said, "Jeez, Lindsay, you are seriously going through withdrawals without your crackberry!" And I was. And I still am!!!

On another note, we had an amazing weekend together, just us with no distractions. We finally got out and did some long overdue hiking. It was a perfect day, with awesome weather and great company. We came home and grilled out and sat out by the fire all night, just talking like we used to. It was so good to have Pat's undivided attention, and I know he felt the same. We spent Sunday at church, literally all day and Pat finally got to start his softball team for the spring. He was very excited and ready to get back on the field. This is one of his hobbies, and I can see in his face how much he enjoys it.

Today I had an interview, so I am keeping my fingers crossed and leaving it up to God (don't worry, be happy). Also hoping that this week we get to meet Tim and Sara's sweet baby Hudson. He is due any day now, and I know that they can hardly wait. I will leave you with an email that I got today that touched me as it always does.

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
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 I really am.
