Remembering Others With Greeting Cards

 

Who still likes to pick up mail and discover a colored, hand-written, envelope in the mailbox? It's like receiving a gift and wondering what is inside. Hand-written cards are like gifts. It takes time to go to the store where you could spend an hour looking for a particular card that you feel is just right for the person you are sending it to. You then set aside a quiet time at home where you can sit down and write your thoughts and wishes on the card.  If you don't have postage, you will need to take the card to the post office. Finding the right stamp at the post office is almost as tedious as looking for the right bow to match the wrapping paper on a gift you just wrapped. Considering all this time and effort to get a card ready to mail can be a daunting task. But don't let these steps prevent you from sending cards when they seem more warranted than a text or an email, which is far more convenient.  Cards make the receivers feel special because of all the work they know that you put into getting the cards ready to send to them. Cards really do inspire others. When I see a card in my mailbox, I open as soon as I receive it. I can't even wait until I get home. Please let me know what you think about sending cards and the blessings you received by doing so.
