A few years ago, I was at Advancing Native Mission’s annual retreat with my sweet friends Carolyn Kleinert and Kristin Teeple. It was there, during a missionary’s speech, that I heard the expression “Gratefulness unexpressed is ungratefulness implied.”
Wow. Talk about a harsh reality check. I never wanted to be ambivalent when it came to thanking people, and I realized that so many times in my life, I let the opportunity to show gratitude slip through my fingers. I wondered how many times I had allowed ungratefulness to be the mark that I left behind. 1 Thes. 5:16-18 says “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” I wanted this to be my prayer and to use this as my lens to view my life.
With Thanksgiving coming up, as cliche as it may be, I feel like now is the time that I want to publicly express my gratefulness toward anyone who has sponsored us, loved us, or encouraged us through this process. November I will be posting a short blog every day giving a shout out to one of our supporters, as well as a mention of how their support is carrying over here. So, if you’re into that sort of thing.. come back and check it out. 🙂
