You’ve Been Found Out!

An idea for a “Thank You” note, by Rich Clingman (06/16/01)

This idea was inspired by David, a 17-year-old with Cerebral Palsy, a man who has put his concern into action and is helping his friends with Duchenne.

David got me thinking about the Bible verse that mentions “entertaining angels”, and I thought of this…

Here’s an idea for a “Thank You” note for those who’ve helped with fundraisers or personally aided your family or son. This is especially great for handing out after “entertaining” them with a Thank You dinner, a simple cup of coffee, or an ice cream with your son’s friends.

What about slipping it under their coffee cup or a small treat and allowing them to “discover” it?

You’ve Been Found Out!

When first we met, we saw you as a stranger.

Now we know who you really are!

Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by

doing so some people have entertained angels.

Hebrews 13:2 NIV

Thank you for touching our lives!

You truly are an angel!

Be sure to sign for each member of your family.

Ø You can put some light-colored paper in your printer, CLICK HERE and print a whole sheet of these “coasters”!

Get the kids involved!

· For a fancier coaster, glue the signed cutouts onto slightly larger pieces of construction paper, creating a “framed” coaster.

· Or, on a larger piece of construction paper, glue a picture of your family with the signed cutout beneath.

· Use your imagination!

Showing gratitude is an important skill for each of us to learn, and people who feel appreciated stay involved. When we display a genuine “Attitude of Gratitude”, we are less likely to be mistaken for “that poor little needy family”.
