Spring Thanksgiving

What else can I say? Holy Week was Wholly Incredible! For all your amazing, selfless, hard work, your commitment to excellence, your patience and endurance, your prayer, and yes, finally, your superb presentation of such worthy and beautiful gifts to the Lord, THANK YOU, team! I hope the process was as fulfilling as the final product for each of you. Thanks especially to you “newbies” who braved the territory of the unknown, stayed the course, and hit the tape with all the veterans. We couldn’t have done it without you! Nor would we like to in the future. Please come back!!

In summary, allow me to quote the apostle Paul with my feelings…he always was better with words. Though you may be very familiar with this section of scripture, please read it very carefully once again, and let God bless you with new insights. From Philippians 1 (New Living Translation):

Thanks to all of you. May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy, for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now. And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.

So it is right that I should feel as I do about all of you, for you have a special place in my heart. I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return. May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ—for this will bring much glory and praise to God.

From the bottom of my heart, “thank you for giving to the Lord. I was a life that was changed.” I trust there were many, many others. CU in two weeks, gang!
