Thankful for Every Single Person

In the past week, hopefully all of us have had some time to pause, reflect, and thank God for the people, circumstances, and lessons He has brought into our lives. At the same time, perhaps this annual exercise caused us to realize that there are some people in our lives who have slipped our minds, who we have not appreciated, or who we have taken for granted this year. Many times, these people have silently suffered to some extent, and the feeling of not being known/seen has been a burden that is tough to bear. Perhaps you are one of these people. How can we as a church family grow in blessing these people and appreciating them? At the same time, if we have felt forgotten or hurt, how are we to respond in a Christ-centered, life-giving way?
