As a child I remember my Mom would actually place her coffee with a saucer, one day I asked her why she always used the saucer when she didn't really used it and her exact words were " I use it everyday to remind myself of how blessed I am", she was 92 years old, My Mom passed four years ago at the ripe age of 100, it took me a while but I understand her words cause each morning as I sip my coffee I thank God for the people in my life, the ones here and the ones passed, the I was able to help, the ones I raised that the Lord gifted me with, the struggle and sacrifices, and the bleak times when I didn't know how it was gonna go, but out of nowhere a way was made. I can literally look back at my life and see exactly where I was carried by God, my cup is overflowing and when I look at my love ones and friends I realize how incredibly rich I am, I don't mean with material things, or money, I am old and I am loved, I am healthy, and I still able too help someone in need when I can. I understand my Mom's words. She was an amazing person and I miss her everyday. So when my co-workers or even the stranger in the checkout line or even the children that ride my bus are in need of help I don't hesitate too be that person to offer a ear, smile, an encouraging word, hug or monetary when I can cause in the end of the day when I close the door too my home I know I have done the best I could and my cup doth run over
