THANK GOD FOR LITTLE THINGS

Thank you God, for little things

That often come our way.

The things we take for granted

But 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 surprises"

From never dreamed of places.
