\n<\/a>Saying \u201cThank you!\u201d is the will of God for our lives. <\/p>\n

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 \u201cBe joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>1 Timothy 2:1 \u201cI urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It is my belief that as a servant of Christ we should not expect people to thank us for what we are supposed to do. \u00a0This is not to be construed as being ungrateful, but as honest Christian humility and character. \u00a0I am always grateful for everyone who works along side me in the ministry for Christ, His Kingdom, and His Church. \u00a0It has always been my belief that actions speak louder than words and I pray and hope that my actions always say \u201cI love you. You are special to me. I will always need you. What an honor to work with you! What a privilege to do ministry for Christ with you!\u201d I truly hope those are the words spoken individually to each you through my actions. \u00a0I will never be able to say \u201cThank you!\u201d enough. <\/p>\n

Matthew 6:2 \u2013 4 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Matthew 18:1 – 3 \u201cAt that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” He called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said: “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

I love you and I am thankful to the Most High for each of you.<\/p>\n

For how you grow me in Christ
\nFor how you challenge me to be better each time we are together
\nFor how my world lights up every time you are with me
\nFor your forgiveness, patience, kindness, and gentleness towards my frailties and weaknesses
\nFor how you show me His Love<\/p>\n

Thank you!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
