Thank You, God, For Little Things

Thank you, God, for 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

Good Morning Mimi,
I am trying to catch up with my visiting everyone. I am feeling fairly good for now, so I did a new post and am out doing a little visiting. This is such a lovely post. We do take things for granted and we sometimes fail to "THANK GOD" for them. "THANK YOU" for reminding us to do that. I read your previous post and it was so touching. So true and yet so wonderful. You have a gift of words. I do enjoy coming by for a visit. You always lift me up. Take care my friend and have a great day. May God Bless You and Yours.

Love & Hugs,
Karen H.

I love the little things
They are the beauty of life
on Earth.

I thank God
for the birds singing this morning

For the owl hooting last night

and for you.

It has been a wonderful Sunday, as you wished for us - we had a missionary from Ukraine that brought us an amazing message full of the goodness of God in a difficult part of the world. We enjoyed lunch with him as well. Wha a blessing.
