Inside of card:
“I thank my God upon every remembrance of you.”—Philippians 1:3
“It is the disposition of God’s children, after they have tasted the sweet mercy and comfort and love of God, to break forth into the praising of God and to thanksgiving. It is as natural for the new creature to do so as for the birds to sing in the spring. When the sun hath warmed the poor creature, it shows its thankfulness in singing…It is natural for those creatures so to do, and we delight in them. It is as natural for the new creature, when it feels the Sun of Righteousness warming the soul, when it tastes of the mercy of God in Christ, to show forth itself in thankfulness and praise; and it can no more be kept from it than fire can keep from burning or water from cooling. It is the nature of the new creature so to do.”—Richard Sibbs, as quoted in FGB Thanksgiving,(available from Chapel Library)
Thank You...
