“Hand Write and Mail a Letter”
When was the last time we wrote a letter to someone in our own handwriting? Some of us might be old pros at today’s Lenten Challenge, while others haven’t written and mailed a letter in years. Many more of us haven’t received a hand-written, mailed letter, in a very long time. But even still, our non-sending or non-receiving shouldn’t keep us from both this week!
There’s something special about receiving a hand-written letter. Some folks might consider it inefficient, and in some respects, that may be true. However, the time and effort required to send a handwritten letter is something that everyone can understand. Even more, when we receive a letter, it’s impossible not to recognize that someone else cares.
Today’s Challenge for Lent is an easy one. It’s also easy to procrastinate and even avoid because it’s going to take some time to accomplish. Don’t let this fall by the wayside! We have the opportunity to change the direction of someone’s day or even give some direction to someone’s week.
We’re about to provide someone with something special. Think about someone who needs it and make it happen!
“So continue encouraging each other and building each other up, just like you are doing already.” (1 Thessalonians 5:11, CEB)
