You know the one. It has a praying hands emoji and a Bible verse. You don’t go to church. Don’t panic.
You don’t have to lie. Just acknowledge the vibe. “Thank you so much for the thoughtful card. Your words of encouragement really lifted me up during finals season.” (That’s true, even if the lift came from coffee, not scripture.)
And for the love of all that is holy, mention the money even if it’s tucked inside the religious card. “And thank you for the very practical blessing inside. It will help with textbooks… or more pizza.” Keep it light.
