More than you realize

Dear friends,
I'm writing to encourage you to continue doing good works for the King. You may never know how much your example may be inspiring others to stay true to the Lord. "Little things" may mean more than you realize to somebody who is lonely; or sad; or wounded in some way. An example of this is the card that we got from our dear friends last week. They were at Andrew's graduation and the father shared, right before they left, that he was so glad for Andrew's fine example of Godly manhood to their young sons. We were still surprised, though, to read these glad words.

Dear Bornemanns,
I want to thank you all for the wonderful testimony of your lives that was evident at Andrew's graduation! It's a struggle in our day to keep our children's hearts and to raise children strong in the Lord. I again am just writing to say, "Thank you" for your being faithful to truth and to our wonderful Savior!
We had a great day on Sunday!
Thank you and may the Lord give to all strength to "Stand" as our world becomes darker and darker.
In Christian love.

On the front of the card it says, "Thinking of you today." On the inside is printed, "Through the moments of this day, whatever they may hold, may you sense Christ's deep and abiding love!"

I encourage you then, to keep serving the Lord each day for you may be blessing others you never even dreamed were needing encouragement. It would be wonderful, too, if others bless your life, to drop them a short note of appreciation like our friends did to us. We need each other to strengthen the body of Christ in these quiet, little ways. Praise the Lord for this wonderful family who encouraged us with their card!!!
