THOUGHTS TO PONDER:

 SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids On a merry-go-round Or listened to the rain
Lapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's Erratic flight Or gazed at the sun Into the fading night? You better slow down Don't dance so fast
Time is short The music won't last.
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask "How are you?" Do you hear the reply? When the day is done,
Do you lie in your bed With the next hundred chores Running through your head? You better slow down,
Don't dance so fast. Time is short,
The music won't last. Ever told your child, We'll do it tomorrow And in your haste Not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch, Let a good friendship die, Cause you never had time To call and say "Hi"?
You better slow down Don't dance so fast. Time is short, The music won't last.
When you run so fast To get somewhere,
You miss half the fun Of getting there.
When you worry and hurry Through your day, It is like an unopened gift Thrown away..... Life is not a race. Do take it slower. Hear the music, Before the song is over.

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 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 sun peeped through again. So Lord, help me not to gripe about the tough rows that I've 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.
