THANK YOU GOD, FOR EVERYTHING

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 AS 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 US 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 TO REMEMBER
THAT THE KEY TO LIFE AND LIVING
IS TO MAKE EACH PRAYER A PRAYER OF THANKS
AND EVERY DAY THANKSGIVING.
