Thank You Notes

I did a bridal shower for a gal the other day and was appalled to hear the women chatting about a past bridal shower.  The bride never sent out the thank yous for the shower, even after the guests took the time to write their addresses on envelopes for her.  This comment started a conversation about how things are really changing in formal "Thank Yous" recently.   It is sad that something as simple and respectful as taking the time to show your gratitude to someone has really taken a backseat for many.

But, today I opened my Bible to 3rd John and quickly read over the first few verses.  The thought that hit me?  "This is a thank you note."  John is writing a thank you note to his friend for the work that he is doing and the hospitality he is showing other believers.  I just love that God would chose to include this in His Word.  It goes to prove that God finds "Thank yous" quite invaluable as well.  It shows that gratitude is at the top of priorities on His list.  And if it is on His list, it better be on mine.
