When we receive a gift, we receive more than an object, we receive love, thoughtfulness, and often an answer to prayer.
Saying “thank you” to God and blessing the giver is a beautiful way to honor both the Source of every good thing and the person whose kindness touched your life.
Use these simple prayers and Scriptures to express gratitude, speak blessing over the giver, and invite God’s grace to multiply generosity in your home and community.
May thankful words become seeds of joy, and may God’s favor rest on those who gave and those who received.
