This last week, a friend of ours passed away from cancer. As condolences came in via the internet, many people were saying how thankful they were to have had him as part of their lives... Some wrote about life lessons he taught them, others would write about cherished memories, and some shared the practical things they learned from him.
We all have people in our lives who mean a great deal to us. Those who have been there through thick and thin. Those who have helped us, prayed for us, encouraged us. Those who have taught us both practical and life lessons. Those who have simply lived life with us.
Today, my challenge is simply this: thank someone. Tell at least one person how grateful you are for them. And don't just merely say thank you, but tell them WHY you are thankful for them.
Let's not wait until they are no longer there that say how much we appreciate them.
