Thank You God, For Little Things

THANK YOU GOD, FOR LITTLE THINGS

by HELEN STEINER RICE



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 A 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.



LIFE IS TWICE AS NICE WHEN THOUGHTFUL
THINGS FOLKS DO AND SAY, MAKE EVERY DAY A
SPECIAL DAY.
H.S.R.





ON GOD MY SALVATION AND MY GLORY REST;
THE ROCK OF MY STRENGTH,
MY REFUGE IS IN GOD.
