Saturday morning. Ah I love Saturdays. Although there are still things to do I get to sleep a little later and move a little slower than I do on weekdays where we dart off to work and school.
It was a fall day and my house was filled with fall decor and crisp air. As I walked outside to my laundry room and changed the clothes over I decided to grab breakfast and sit in the chair beside some of my fall decor and take it all in. I sat for a moment with my thoughts to hear my father speak. As I sat there I began to think of my blessings. All of a sudden I had the thought, “My cup runneth over”. The words scurried across my mind quickly. They stopped to sit and simmer for a while. So much so that I had to get up and remember where they were in the Bible. Oh yes the 23rd psalm! I read it all. Oh how I love that psalm. How much depth there is in this passage! I thought long and hard about how big God was and how I need to remember that often. I thought about how if I could focus on how full my cup is I wouldn’t need to wallow in wishing things were different. Just enjoy the blessings.
Focus on him for those things that need to change. Don’t focus on the things that need to change. Focus on him.
All of a sudden I realized when a cup runneth over it splashes out. It can splash out over onto others. And that’s ultimately what it’s about. We can’t take anything with us in this life. Only that which we give away. So today let’s remember these things.
Be grateful.
Let your cup run over
Give to others.
Let God teach us how to live in the overflow!
