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.

First, thank you for the little things,
That often come our way,
The things we take for granted,
And 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.

Help us to remember,
That the key to life and living,
Is to make each prayer a prayer of thanks,
And every day Thanksgiving.

The Lord will command the blessing upon you in your barns,
and in all that you undertake; and He will bless you in the land
which the Lord your God gives you. Deuteronomy 28:8
