mailbox

Everyone likes to receive mail. Sometimes the mail is a birthday card or a holiday greeting of some sort. I tend to get more advertisements and junk mail than I like, but occasionally there is another type of mail in the form of a nice note. I have kept many notes over the years from loved ones and I enjoy looking back at them and remembering our relationship.

Sometimes we don’t know what kind of an impact we can have on someone else. What if this week or month we each take time to write a note to someone who has been a spiritual friend or a role model in their faith? When we struggle at times with our faith, it seems there are people who come into our lives at the right time.

Take a moment to write a thank you note and fill up their mailbox with gratitude.
