What Do You Do When A Simple Thank You Won’t Suffice?

What Do You Do When A Simple "Thank You" Won’t Suffice?

I’ve been thinking about the best way to say thank you.

Because you deserve all the thanks in the world, and I’m hoping these heartfelt words will suffice.

Your knees have bent in prayer these last few months. You have beaten down the doors of heaven and beaten back the powers of hell. You have joined us to #PrayForZero for my dad and me. We have felt the power of your prayers. They have fed us, strengthened us, sustained us, and brought us much joy.

You’ve support us by purchasing books and Bible studies directly through our website. This makes 10 times difference to us financially, and allows us move forward through this difficult season as we face a mountain of medical bills. Some of you have gone so far as to make tax-deductible donations to help us. We couldn’t be more grateful.

You’ve even sent us gift cards. Those gift cards are one of the ways we have carried you with us in our hearts. They’ve allowed us to stop by Whole Foods after an impossibly long day at the hospital and grab dinner when we were too tired to cook. Those gift cards help us buy movies and DVDs to watch as we sit through treatment that lasts 10-12 hours. Those gift cards have taken the sting out of having to buy so many new, non-toxic products for our home and deal with the unexpected purchases that have popped up along this journey. I knew you were with us and for us.

Most importantly, many of you have gone out of your way to love, serve, and practice generosity with others who are facing great adversity. You’ve chosen to break the silence and let them know they are loved and prayed for. You’ve lavished them with the grace of God, and I stand in holy awe.

During this difficult season, you have loved me in the ways that I have most needed to be loved and left me wonderstruck. Thank you for continuing to pray as we continue on this journey and fight with joy.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

A thousand thank yous.

Much love,

Margaret, Leif, and Hershey

    You’re welcome, but it’s YOU we should be thanking. THank YOU Margaret Feinberg for your incredible witness for King Jesus. Your encouraging us to stay in God’s Word.

    Margaret Feinberg, I appreciate you and treasure you as a BEAUTIFUL, PRECIOUS, and WONDERFUL creation of Jesus!

    Thank YOU for double dog daring me! I can hear you through the screen some weeks. This is called building up and encouraging each other which is what we should do!

    BIG HUGS for you,

    Thank you Margaret!

    Love in Christ,
    Alicia “Big time on Fire for Jesus” Roark

    I was just praying and thinking about you and your Dad when your email slid into my inbox. Sending lots of love and thankful for your friendship, for the way your faith inspires.

    What do you do when thanks isn’t enough? Praise God. Give thanks for His love and mercy and healing. All of our gifts and prayers and support, really come from God’s hands.
    I will continue to pray for you and your family every day. Why? Because people prayed for me when I fought cancer. Because I have learned from your books, especially “Wonderstruck”, for which I did the Bible study and read the book. Because you have the most amazing smile and you love your readers. Because I care. God is blessing you and your family today.

    I read some awesome encouragement the other day and have been meaning to log on and comment. So, your thank you encouraged me to just “Get er done”! I have been turning a phrase over in my mind for a few weeks during my own challenging times…In His presence there is fulness of joy…and working on actively entering His presence and asking Him to show me what that might mean. Hebrews 6: 18-20 in The Message says “We who have run for our very lives to God have every reason to grab the promised hope with both hands and never let go. It’s an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God, where Jesus, running on ahead of us, has taken up His permanent post as high priest for us…” Those verses left me #Wonderstruck and I hope will do the same for you!

    You have blessed me and my life so greatly… may you also be blessed.

    I am praying… #PrayForZero

    Blessings and love.

    I was just thinking of you yesterday and wondering how you were doing dear Margaret. I will continue to keep your dad and you in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for being used of Him, even in the midst of this challenging time. I am so thankful for the way you point us to HIM and to the wonder that is our relationship with Him. Be blessed dear sister.

    Margaret,
    Our women’s small group is doing your Sacred Echo right now. We pray for you every Wednesday morning at our study. I have loved reading your books and following your other writing since working with you in the kitchen at Cross Bar X a few years ago. Thank you for your faithfulness, even as you write of your current battle with cancer. We will continue to pray for you and your father.

    Glory to God in the Highest, and on earth, peace, good will to men. Good will to men: grace. This is you, Margaret. You hold out your hands, extend grace, lavish love in ways that confound the weak, humble the proud. You invite us, come. We’ll make room in the circle, you say.And we respond. We are better, because of you. So, too, are those we touch, those whose hands we take in ours and spill out grace. Continued prayers for you, wonder-filled Lover of Life and Light, Life Reborn, Word Made Flesh. Glory.

    For the record, I had already mailed something out this week before I read this. 😉 It should be there on Monday and EEEP I hope it brings you some joy. I almost kept. Ha! Kidding. Not really. Maybe a little. Anyway, praying it’s a small ray of sunshine for your day.
