Week 3:  Thanksgiving Leads to Giving Always I Thessalonians 1:2- 2:8 The freight and meaning of the phrase “pay it forward” was around long before those three words got connected with one another.  In fact, almost every letter the apostle Paul wrote began with a statement of gratitude.  This thankful beginning led this beloved pastor to contribute even more to the faith and life of his letters’ recipients.  Sometimes those contributions were filled with warmth.  Sometimes those contributions were somewhat stern.  Regardless of how the letter ended, though, thankfulness was always worth offering first.
