One of the things I love about the church community is that there is almost always someone else that is constantly mentioning you in prayers. To be in community means to pray for one another, remembering one another before God. What a gift that can be from one to another!
Here, the Thessalonians probably don't realize what an inspiration their faith is -- they're busy serving God, serving one another, focused on what is in front of them. Maybe they didn't set out to become an example, but they have, and word of their faith is traveling around, as others are inspired by them, learning more about Jesus.
We often don't realize the wake we leave behind us as we navigate through the world. We impact others, often through simple acts of love and devotion that we don't give another thought. Maybe take some time today and reach out to say thank you to those who inspire you, to those who are examples to you, and let them know that you are remembering them in prayer, that we may encourage one another, spurring each other on to love and good works!
