“Handwrite and Mail a Letter”
Today’s Lenten Challenge will bring a smile to someone’s face! How often do we receive a handwritten letter or card from another person?
For most of us, the only mail we receive is a bill, credit card solicitation, or retail store advertisement. An actual hand-written note is rare, indeed. Oh sure, many of us might receive something on our birthday or during the Holidays, but how often do we receive a random, handwritten note from a friend or family member?
A handwritten note means so much to the recipient. Among other things, it indicates that we are valued as human beings. This is no small thing, especially in a world that is becoming more electronic, digital, and automated. It shows that someone thinks enough of us to spend some time and effort to let us know it. The importance of self-worth for all people cannot be emphasized enough and a note from us could be a big difference-maker for someone.
Who will be your recipient? As you consider someone to receive your greetings of love, friendship, and appreciation, also include a time and date on your note. This will allow your recipient to reflect upon the events that were occurring in their own life while you wrote your note. That could be an additional boost to their self-confidence, and give evidence of God’s work at a time when they may have needed it most.
Today’s Challenge will be awesome! Handwrite a letter or note to someone, include a time and date within your letter, and mail it to your person. Someone will be smiling in a few days!
“I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy.” (Philippians 1:2-4, NIV)
