I am Blessed!

This was a poem that I read today and thought that I would share. A few of my blogger friends have been posting 5 things that they are thankful for daily. This helps us to recognize how blessed we are as we tend to forget the good things and dwell on the negative. Below you will find my blessings that I counted today!

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 toughBut 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 we really are.

These are just little things, but they are still things that I am thankful for. I could probably do more but I won't bore you to death. I encourage each of you to make a list each day whether written or just a mental note of the joys in your everyday lives.
