Language school in Indonesia started us out like a preschool class. The first thing I remember is learning the alphabet names, how to count, and a song about hats of different shapes.

Then we moved to the other part of being a preschooler, learning manners. I think the most important, most useful word I learned came from this category. It was ‘terima kasih,’ thank you.

I needed help constantly in my new world, and sincere gratitude helped.

What do you think the most important phrase to learn is?

1 Thessalonians 5:18 NIV
give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
