Never Forget Those Who Helped You

"Every time I think of you, I give thanks to myGod." Php 1:3 NLTPaul often acknowledged those who helped him."Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God...for you have been my partners in spreading theGood News" (vv. 3, 5 NLT). "You Philippians werethe only ones who gave me financial help…No otherchurch did this. Even when I was in Thessalonicayou sent help more than once. I don't say thisbecause I want a gift from you. Rather, I want you toreceive a reward for your kindness" (Php 4:15-17NLT). He writes to the believers in Thessalonica:"We can't help but thank God for you, because yourfaith is flourishing and your love for one another isgrowing. We proudly tell God's other churchesabout your endurance and faithfulness in all thepersecutions and hardships you are suffering" (2Th1:3-4 NLT). Author Barbara Glanz tells about agentleman who remembered his eighth-gradeliterature teacher. He wrote to her and received thisreply: "You will never know how much your lettermeant. I'm 83 years old, and……living all alone. Myfriends are all gone. My family's gone. I taughtschool 50 years and yours is the first 'thank you'letter I have ever gotten from a student. SometimesI wonder what I did with my life. I will read andreread your letter until the day I die." Ironically, shewas the teacher students talked most about at classreunions, but nobody ever told her.
