Thank You Notes

rooted and build up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness." Colossians 2:7

Isn't it so much fun to receive a "Thank you note"? 

There are so many different types of "thank you notes” that have been designed. 

Many are simple and sweet... colorful and full of zest... stripes and polka dots... flowers and scenic landscapes... and so much more! 

And the best part of the note in itself is that it’s been written from the

                         “Thankful heart of the writer” 

A  Thank You note exclaims you are appreciated and you are noticed for, maybe,  something that you’ve done out of a heart of love or perhaps just because!

I am positive too that the receiver was thankful you took the time to write and express your heart.

Counting your blessings is a sure way to take your eyes off of the things that appear to be going wrong and focuses them on what is right. 

Giving a “Thank You note” I guarantee will bring a smile to the recipient’s face.  Their hearts will be moved by the simple expression of your thoughtfulness.

With the means today of :

                      Internet, FB, our IPhones

sending a “Thank you note” is almost extinct.

When was the last time you received a “Thank You note” from someone or for that matter when did you sent a “Thank You note” to someone?

Have you ever made a list of the things that you are thankful for?  You’d be amazed at how your mood or attitude begins to change. 

Don’t put off tomorrow what you should do today.

Everything that you have and are was given to you by a loving and generous Heavenly Father. So be thankful!

I write a “Thank You note” every day to my Heavenly Father! Pretty amazing to see what I’ve expressed to Him…and as I’ve reread them I wondered…What in the World was I thinking…but hey...I was sharing my heart  and somehow I don’t think He minded at all!

Just the mere fact that you are reading this at this moment indicates to me that God has given You life for today!  That's something to be so thankful for.

Maybe you’re one like myself who starts a list and I go go by and mark items on it…so let me suggest that you do the same with a “Thank You note.”

I encourage you to begin your list......

...........then write your "Thank You note"  to God! 

Or surprise someone, get started today and see the abundance of His great love and thankfulness being poured right out of your heart!

Psalm 100:4  says to......Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

Thank Him... praise Him.

As a Pastor, some time ago, I suggested to the Women’s Ministry to begin their own “Thank You Notes” to the Lord, make it a point to get to it each day. Either write it in their journal’s or on something that they could keep, tuck it away and in 6 months they could look back and see the Thankfulness of their hearts expressed to their Heavenly Father.

It was liberating to hear what they shared and to see what God actually did for them during that time!

Inspiring!!!

So what are you waiting for?  Go ahead it will make your day!


Thanks YOU for stopping by today, I pray it sparked something in your heart!
