Thank God for Little Things
Thank You, God, for little things / that often come our way, / The things we take for granted / but dont mention when we pray / The unexpected courtesy, / the thoughtful, kindly deed, / A hand reached out to help us / in our 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.
