How Do You Say Thank You?

How do you say thank you…

to all the men & women, mentors & friends who have poured into you?

to all the students who have allowed you to love them & lead them?

to all the parents who have entrusted you with the safety & spiritual direction of their children?

to all the elders who trusted you to handle the word of God well, minister out of integrity & love the church they shepherd?

to all the deacons who were in the trenches with you side by side doing the work that made it possible for others to catch a glimpse of Jesus?

to all the staff & ministers who have encouraged you, supported you, helped you, coached you & understood you?

to the church that for the past six years has given you the opportunity to minister & work out your calling in their midst?

to God who is always working all things together for our good & for His ultimate glory?

I really have no idea.

But thank you.  Those words fall painfully short.  But to our faith family at Campus Church, thank you.  From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

May the Lord bless you and keep you;
May the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;
May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
