Thank you, God for everything-
the big things and the small,
For "every good gift comes from God"-
the giver of them all-
And all too often we accept
without any thanks or praise
The gifts God sends are blessings
each day in many ways,
And so, at this THANKSGIVING TIME
We offer up a prayer
To thank you, God, for giving us
a lot more than our share...
First, thank you for the little things
that often come our way,
The things we take for granted
but don't mention when we pray.
The unexpected courtesy,
the thoughtful, kindly, deed,
A hand reached out to help us
in the time of sudden need....
Oh, make us more aware, dear God,
of little daily graces
That come to use with "sweet surprise"
from never-dreamed-of places-
Then, thank you for the "Miracles"
we are much too blind to see,
And give us new awareness
of our many gifts from Thee,
And help us remember
that the KEY to LIFE and LIVING
IS to make each prayer a PRAYER of THANKS
and every day THANKSGIVING.
