“For the bird who sings outside my window, For the tree that stands outside my door, For the neighbor who waves and says “good morning”, I give you thanks dear God, for these and more,
Your blessings every morning know no limit, Yet I often rush by not seeing them, I fear; Let me take a moment this and every morning, God, I pray, To remember all of them, and know that you are here.

Obedience hinges on a set purpose and his grace.”
