Dear,
I want you to know was a tremendous honor and a distinct privilege to dedicate (NAME OF CHILD) to the Lord in the Sunday morning service.
God has truly blessed you both with a wonderful family and has entrusted you to the stewardship of their care over the next few years. As you already know, there will be challenges ahead that will require more than you can handle on your own. This is where God’s help and wisdom comes in!
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.
