My step-mom was the QUEEN of writing letters/cards to people. She was also amazing at letting people know the importance they have in her life. I admire that greatly.
Lately, I have been really convicted to start letting people know how important they are to me, to someone, to God. Not just by email or text, but sitting down and taking the time to hand write a nice letter/card to those that are important to me, those that I miss and those that need encouragement. Besides the no time issue, which I think I can muster up anyway, it is the fact that I stink at writing letters. I never know what to say or how to say it. I want it to be sincere and I want it to be well written. Why is it so hard to put together words to tell someone I care about them or that I love them or that they mean so much to me? Am I just being to picky? Am I afraid that they will find it trite (love this word)?
And also I have been wanting to let those that I pray about know that I am praying for them. However, what is my reasoning for this? I originally thought it was because I know I feel comforted when I know someone is praying for me. I worry though that there may be another reason. Maybe I am looking to feel appreciated for doing this.
Speaking of praying, God is good. I have been praying more and more lately because I never thought my prayer life was where it should be. I always got feelings that I should be praying for people and initially I thought that I was just being weird. But this is not so, I have been praying for those that pop in my head and it turns out they really needed that prayer. Cool. God is good!
