How and Why to Write a Thank-You Note

Being a Christian means more than wearing a cross and owning a Bible. The way you treat others is very important – especially someone that does something for you. As a minister, artist or business owner, showing appreciation is a classic way to rep Christ.

I personally am a text and email fanatic. It is the fastest way to get a hold of me. For many, it has become the most common mode of communication. But there are times when using the fashion pin and paper can be more personal and appropriate – when saying “thank you.”

Perhaps you have asked yourself: Do I have to send an old-fashioned thank-you note when someone gives me a gift? My answer is a resounding “yes.” It is not a bad idea. It’s easy to do and can go a long way.

The note doesn’t have to be long and drawn out on the fanciest paper you can find. Stay uncomplicated and personal. Mention the way they impacted you. For example, “thank you for visiting my office” or “thank you for buying my project.” If they gave you something, express how you will fit it into your life. “The book you gave me has been quite helpful.”

The important thing is to appear genuine and heartfelt. Sending a thank you note will make the giver feel good and appreciated. They are more likely to give unto you again and again. Don’t believe me? Watch how many times God will give unto you when you take time to say “thank you” to Him.”
