My Cup Runneth Over!

3Nephi 24:10 "Bring ye all the atithes into the storehouse, that there may bebmeat in my house; and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of Hosts, if I will not open you the cwindows of heaven, and pour you out a dblessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it."


I was thinking about this scripture while I was making raspberry jam last week.  I had so many raspberries that I didn't have enough containers to store all of the jam in!  I then looked in our overflowing garage, and thought about our growing family, and I thought, "It's true!  I don't have enough room to receive all of these blessings!"


I have prayed and asked for all of the blessings in my life; our children, Shawn's business, his ability to go to college, my teaching job, our childrens' activities, my calling, our friends....the list could continue...and now that they are all upon me (all at once), I don't know if there is room in my life to keep up with all of them!  I am feeling extremely blessed and maybe a little overwhelmed! 


I guess that right now, I am just going to really have to trust in the Lord, and that He knows my limits better than I do.
