My cup of thankfulness o'erflows
With praise and gratitude
For the bounty of God's goodness,
For blessings multitude.
For the golden glow of sunshine
Against the harvest sky
As autumn leaves dance in the breeze
Painting the mountains high.
For acres of sweet golden grain
That stretch across the land.
For strength to stand amidst the storm
Sheltered within God's hand.
For harvest rain that falls on earth
To bathe the earthly sod.
For praying saints whose incense rise
Before the throne of God.
My cup of thankfulness o'erflows
And spills out to my King;
As long as life will give me breath,
His song of praise I'll sing.

With the exception of 1 year living in Boston, Mass.,and two years in Hanau, Germany, I have lived in the historic state of Virginia all my life. I now reside in the beautiful Roanoke Valley. Though raised in a Christian home, I was in my early 20’s before making a commitment of my life to Christ. Since then I have spent many years in full-time ministry. I am currently employed as an accountant with a Christian child care center in Roanoke and also serve as the Office Manager and Scheduling Coordinator for singer and songwriter Mary Rice Hopkins who resides in California.
