1 tHeSsAlOnIaNs 5:12-24
ReV. eLiZaBeTh gIlBeRt When was the last time you received a hand-written 'thank you' note? When was the last time you sent one? Surely technology has changed the way we show our appreciation and send personal messages. Today many consider an electronic 'thank you' note just as meaningful as the old-fashioned written kind. Some still think a proper 'thank you' puts ink to paper. Regardless, the act of thanking someone for their kindness and generosity remains an important practice. Giving thanks is also an important spiritual discipline. As the generous Giver of all good gifts, God desires our thanks and praise. Scripture helps us understand how meaningful this is to our relationship with God and others. When was the last time you sent God a 'thank you' note? Maybe it's time for another.
