THANKSGIVING THURSDAY | ALHAMISI YA SHUKRANI.
π βTherefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.β
β 1 Thessalonians 5:11
Not every gift from God arrives in our hands.
Sometimes, it arrives through a person.
A friend who checked on you when you were quiet.
Someone who prayed for you without telling you.
A parent who kept believing in you.
A teacher who saw potential in you.
A church member who stood beside you when life became difficult.
Someone whose simple words gave you strength at exactly the right moment.
Today, let your thanksgiving include the people God has used along your journey.
Don't just remember what they didβthank God for placing them in your life.
And perhaps there is someone you have been meaning to appreciate. Don't wait.
π± Send the message.
π Make the call.
π€ Say the words.
βThank you for being there.β
You may never know how much those words could mean to someone.
π A Prayer of Thanksgiving
Lord, thank You for the people You have placed along our journey. Thank You for those who encourage us, correct us, pray for us, support us, and remind us of Your love. Help us never to take such people for granted. Show us also how to become a source of encouragement to someone else. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Today, thank God for someoneβand let that person know they are appreciated.
Sometimes thanksgiving is not just a prayer we say to God; it is appreciation we express to someone He used to bless our lives. π
