Who to Thank

Someone who is doing something small to make a difference in your life

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Colossians 3: 17

We pray for the big things and forget to give thanks for the ordinary, small (and yet really not small) gifts.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Life Together: The Classic Exploration of Faith in Community

Someone who has supported or encouraged you

. . . give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

1 Thessalonians 5: 18

The only people you should try to get even with are those who have helped you.

John E. Southard
