My Cup Runs Over, a collaborative work of art created by the children of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church Mom’s Morning Group. This piece was donated to a live auction that raised funds for a charity event “Wine to Water”. Funds went towards teaching locals in impoverished countries to maintain wells for a sustainable fresh water supply .
My Cup Runs Over

Sometimes I feel like I’ll never fit in.
Like no one around me wants me to win.
To win at this life where I have been placed.
To conquer the challenges I have faced.
And then I remember, the Lord God Almighty
Has chosen ME ever so wisely
To be His child,
Entrusted with gifts
Gifts that only I can give.
What are my gifts?
I’m not quite sure yet
So I act like myself,
I try doing my best
At whatever it is to be thrown my way:
Different Things,
Different people,
Different events each day.
I just act like myself.
I do what I can.
I take one step at a time,
Knowing God is my biggest fan.
Sometimes I stumble.
Sometimes I fall.
Sometimes I crumble.
And then I must call.
Call on the Lord
To please pick me up.
When my heart is left empty,
To please fill my cup.
Then my cup runs over.
My cup overflows,
In ways unimagined,
Far greater than I could know.
