Thankful for You

Well, I have. And it feels good. And what if they thanked God for you? That really feels good because they see in some eternal sense that God has brought a blessing to them through you. In the Bible Paul expressed thanksgiving to God for his spiritual family because he held them "close in his heart," Philippians says. Maybe we should do the same. This Thanksgiving tell the people you value most how thankful to God you are for them. You need to say it and they need to hear it.

Ever had someone thankful for you?
Ron: Ever had someone thankful for you?
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Well, I have. And it feels good. I feel special, important, valued, and depending on who it is, loved. And what if they thanked God for you? Whoa. That really feels good because they see in some eternal sense that God has brought a blessing to them through you. A few times in the Bible Paul expressed thanksgiving to God for his spiritual family because he held them “close in his heart,” Philippians says. Maybe we should do the same.
This Thanksgiving look the people you value the most in the eye and tell them how thankful to God you are for them. You need to say it and they need to hear it. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
