My Cup Runneth Over


So many things, so many blessings. I feel that if I were a cup, I would literally be overflowing. Such a wonderful thing! We went to our granddaughter's birthday party on Saturday. My gift to her was a book titled 'The Three Cups', and appropriately, three ceramic cups. Ady's reaction to the gift was delightful. She smiled so big, and gasped "A cup!" as she unwrapped the first of the cups wrapped in white tissue. She read the word taped on the cup 'spend' and continued to unwrap the second cup. I explained to her that there was also a book at the bottom of the box that would help her to use the three cups to learn how to save, spend and give--and the beginning of lots of adventures. I don't think it sunk in; she was eyeing the pretty colors, teal, pomegrante, and chartreuse (definitely designer colors). Maybe the cups represented a future tea party, or hot cocoa with breakfast... At any rate, it was fun watching Ady enjoying her big day. Besides celebrating Ady's birthday, there were also other reasons to make my cup runneth over~ a room full of family, wedding plans in progress, and being excited for happy news our children shared with us:)
