There are many things for which to be thankful, but here are two.  In some of his letters, the apostle Paul tells the people that he is giving thanks for them – and he tells them why.  Listen in:

“We always thank God … because we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all the saints” (Colossians 1:3-4 NIV).

“We ought always to thank God for you … because your faith is growing more and more, and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing” (2 Thessalonians 1:3 NIV).

Faith.  Love.  Paul also takes note of these spiritual virtues in 1 Thessalonians 1:3 and Philemon 5.  They are important.  So look around you, and wherever you see signs that people have faith in the Lord Jesus and love for God’s people, give thanks to God.  They are among the most precious of gifts.
