Thank you letter

Lady of Light

How many of us have written a "thank you" letter - perhaps for a Christmas or birthday gift, or for a visit at someone's home? A good example of a "thank you" letter is the book of Phillipians where the apostle Paul writes to the church at Phillipi to thank the church there for their support of him. In Phillipians 1:1-7, we have an example of how Paul shows gratitude for the believers there.

"Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ to all the saints in Christ Jesus whic are at Phillipi, with the bishops and deacons:
Grace be unto you, and peace, from God upon every rememberance of you, Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now: Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, ye are all partakers of my grace."

Paul lets the believers at Phillipi know that he keeps them in his heart and prayers and that he thanks God for them.

As you think of loved ones and friends who have been good to you, perhaps you can let them know that you are thankful by letting them know they are in your hearts and prayers. Paul sets a good example here as he shows appreciation for them.

God bless you and have a great day!
