~Thank-You God, For Everything!

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.

And so at this Thanksgiving time
we offer up a prayer

To thank You, God for giving us
a lot more than our share.

Thank You for the miracles
we are much too blind to see,

And give us a new awareness
of our many gifts from Thee,

And help us to remember
that the key to life and living

Is to make each prayer a prayer of thanks
and every day "Thanksgiving".
