~The Little Things~
Thank you God for little things
That bring much joy our way,
Like a sudden burst of sunshine
Cleansing a sky of grey
A kindness from a stranger,
Children's laughter as they play;
There are so many little things
That brighten up each day.
Things we take for granted,
Like someone's thoughtful deed:
A perfect flower unfolding
Amidst a patch of weeds.
So at the end of every day
When we turn to God and pray
Let's thank Him for the little things,
He loves to send our way.

Poems Used with Permission
Be Still
Be still and quietly listen
To a voice that's always there,
God promised not to leave us,
So draw close to Him in prayer.
Let go of fleeting thoughts
That clutter up your mind,
For in His loving presence
True wisdom you will find.
Be still and lean on Him,
Your worries all will cease,
For his everlasting love,
Will bring eternal peace.
