There is no better way than sending a letter, and how thankful we are for all those who have taken the time to put their thoughts down into words. That collection of notes you sent to Jonathan is a beautiful keepsake and testimony to the fact that you cared and extended yourself over and over again to reach him in his struggles. He carefully kept those notes, and we were so touched by your love and concern for him.<br />The Bible is a collection of love letters too, as you mention. It is encouragement and revelation to all who study it; words of light and truth for the difficult journey we face.Linda Ruth Jeffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06657142192184685732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8683826038247523576.post-46850638212514361512012-12-03T21:49:59.027-08:002012-12-03T21:49:59.027-08:00A post after my own heart, I love writing letters,...A post after my own heart, I love writing letters, and send hand written birthday cards to over 200 people per year. I see it as a small but significant mission--to spread love through the written word, as a keepsake, and as a way to uplift a person who opens the card or letter. Sometimes short, sometimes lengthy, I buy blank cards weekly at Target to keep my stock supplied. Sometimes it seems like one more thing to do at the end of a long day, but after I sit down and start to write, it gives me as much joy and energy as I hope it gives the person I send it to. It is a form of gratitude, when I write I feel so grateful for the person I am writing too, so grateful that God has placed them in my life. Writing is one of my passions, I can see it is one of yours too, Kelsie! Thanks as always for your posts! I continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers.<br />Love, ErikaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06363109800149621732noreply@blogger.com
