As some folks know (yet MANY don't), my dad has been ill for MONTHS...since last November to be exact.
Since that time, he has been either in a hospital or rehabilitation facility.
At this very moment he is yet in another hospital.
During this time, folks have been so very kind. Most have been from my church.
The Deacons and Deaconess have visited him, and many other church members have sent cards.
There is something so very special in receiving a card in the mail that lets you know someone is thinking about you.
Even personally...when I open my mailbox, if there is a handwritten envelope, I immediately open that first to find a card inside, which results in an automatic SMILE.
On the flip-side, I also love SENDING cards.
Every Sunday, my church lists the names and addresses of members who are "sick and shut-in" or bereaved. It warms my heart to be able to send those folks a card, because I know how much it warms MINE when receiving such.
So in this picture are just a few of the cards my dad has received. They continue to come in, and when they do, I am very mindful to stick a "Thank You" note right back in the mail so the senders know how greatly their thoughtfulness is appreciated.
How 'bout you? Let the DIALOGUE begin: When was the last time you SENT or RECEIVED a card in the mail?
Talk to me!
Til next time...
