My parents raised me to write thank-you notes. Whenever I received a gift or was blessed by someone doing something nice for me, I would write a quick note to let the person know I appreciated what they’d done. This habit teaches me to slow down and pay attention to the people around me and the love they show me.

The Bible is filled with passages that read like thank-you notes to God. We have so much to be thankful for! God created us and takes care of us. God loves us no matter how many times we mess up. God’s Spirit is always with us. We should give thanks because God hasn’t left us on our own.
