Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Certain people are such special blessings. It doesn't matter if we visit with them on the phone, receive an encouraging email, receive a handwritten letter, or see them face to face. Any time we remember these kinds of people, we thank God for them. So, let's follow Paul's example and let them know they give us reasons to give thanks!
I thank my God every time I remember you.

Video Commentary...
