The apostle Paul wrote a letter of gratitude to the Philippi Christians. He wished to express his gratitude to them because they were the only church to have given him financial support for his missionary journey (Phil. 4:15). But he went beyond. He specifically mentioned to them the benefit of their assistance. Paul helped the people connect with people and places they could never travel to. They provided for Paul's needs (v. 16). Their contributions produced spiritual fruit (v. 17). They made God happy (v. 18). They also had the assurance that God would provide for them (v. 19).
Thank you cards are useful both ways. They aid in both the sender's ability to show gratitude and the recipient's understanding of what was done to help. It makes a fantastic pairing.
Do you know anyone who deserves a thank-you note?
A supportive phrase can mean the difference between giving up and continuing. If someone has shown you love, stop and think about what the Lord has done through them. Then, praise them for their loyal actions and the rewards they have received.
