A Thanksgiving Prayer by Leona Biddle

Dear God, please give me a thankful heart
for little things:
Sunshine on the kitchen floor, 
News the postman brings, 
Things the children do and say.
Grant me appreciation of the small joys that are mine-
For robins in the springtime
And autumn's crispy weather-
For the leaves that crunch,
To wake and find the first snowfall.
Give me enthusiasm to greet each new day
With honest joy in living;
Let me love the little things I find along the way.
