[QUOTE="Andy, post: 331338, member: 5096"] Thank you Star - I love that poem! :) GCVmom - you are looking at it very similar to my first reaction. Blessings do overflow our life and sometimes we have to do something different to see them. 2nd ponder was: I think we don't always have a choice of what is in our glass (or cup) but we can control the size of the glass/cup. When we keep it an appropriate size, we will see our blessings overflowing. When it is so tall that it can not be filled, maybe then is the time to start cleansweeping our life - get rid of the unrealistic expectations - we really can not do everything. What we are longing for is not always in our best interest and will not show as a blessing but may show as the empty still in our glass and holding us down. 3rd ponder: What a way to think outside the box! :) In all my years of knowing this saying, I never thought of a way around it. Here it is! [/QUOTE]
