Thankful

Do you remember the person who poured into your life and because of their sacrifice, you came into a relationship with Jesus. You probably do remember, but have you gone to that person to ever tell them, ‘Thanks’. May I encourage you to take just a minute or two and tell them the sacrifice they made, was a life changing decision and you are so thankful for what they did that opened the door for you to make that decision.

In a season of thanks, be grateful for all who have poured into your life.
