Dear
I just discovered that you are coming up on a very exciting anniversary in your life, and I wanted to be sure to send this letter of congratulations and encouragement to you for your (3rd) year being free from alcohol!
I have heard this is one of the most difficult struggles for a person to go through, yet you are not only going through it, but with the help of Jesus Christ in your life, I believe you are conquering and winning!
Dear _____________,
I just wanted to take a moment to send you a note to congratulate you both as you move into your new home!
As Christians, I know you realize that a house is not necessarily a home, but a home is built with great love and an awareness and appreciation to the Lord who is the giver of every good and perfect gift! James 1:17 “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”
Dear
As your Pastor, I wanted to be sure to send a special letter of congratulations to you upon your graduation from (NAME OF SCHOOL), and to let you know that we are proud of you and your accomplishment.
Graduation is such a joyous occasion as friends and classmates say one last “goodbye” before embarking on this great journey that is before them.
Dear _______________:
I wanted to send you a personal note today to let you know how encouraged I am by the recent reconciliation of your marriage! As a Pastor, I routinely see the effects of daily struggle on marriage and I am very thankful that you have been able to work through a difficult time to reach this point of victory!
It is clear to me that marriage was intended to be permanent when our Creator fashioned this blessed union into the blueprint for mankind yet I know that the enemy routinely seeks to dismantle this sacred union through conflict and turmoil. I am rejoicing with you in the preservation of your relationship – and I will continue to pray for additional healing and grace for both of you.
Dear _______________:
Congratulations!
I wanted to write to you today to let you know just how impressed and proud I was to hear of your recent athletic accomplishment! Wow! I recognize this moment as the evident fruit of your labor and I know how hard you must have worked to get to this important milestone. Clearly, God has blessed you with a great set of skills and I am happy to see you using the gifts that He has given you in your pursuit of athletic excellence.
