Thankful For You!!!
Philippians 1st chapter 2nd – 6th verses:
Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus
Christ. I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, Always in every prayer of
mine for you all making request with joy, For your fellowship in the gospel
from the first day until now; Being confident of this very thing, that he which
hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Last Thursday we discussed an attitude of gratitude. We illustrated how one
person managed to change the lives of millions by expressing his thanks to God.
(See Thursday Tidbit: Attitude of Gratitude) Well, this week we want to talk
about another person that can and has already begun to change the lives of many
— You!
When Veronica and I meditate on what we should be thankful for, You come to
mind. We started this ministry two years ago with seven people; now it’s grown
to over two hundred, and that number includes only the addresses that we send
to. Yesterday, we were tremendously blessed by the fellowship of a friend of
this ministry. While eating dinner, she told us that she forwards the weekly
messages to friends and family members, just as many of you do. That really
helped us realize that this ministry is where it is because God gave us people
like you. We had to share that with you because we just want to say,
"Thank God for each of you."
Even though we have never met many of you face to face, through email
exchanges we know that we have more family than we’ve ever realized. In short,
we want to say that you are a major portion of our attitude of gratitude. For
your kind words, for your suggestions and for keeping us in your prayers, again
we say, "Thank God for you." Thanks to friends of this ministry like
you, not only are we on the net but also we are now sharing the word of God in
local churches. In the future, we look forward to expanding to other states and
even other countries.
Thank you for helping us attain our mission: "Spreading the Gospel of
Jesus Christ throughout the World and through You." We look forward to the
blessings of God upon your lives; as He blesses you, He blesses us.
With God’s Love,
Eddie & Veronica
