Why write
letters? Why bother taking the time to send a hand written letter to someone
who probably already knows everything you are writing? Isn't there something
more valuable we could be doing with our time than this? What difference will
it make anyways?

Cathy, founder of Chick-fil-A, is often heard to say, “Who needs
encouragement?” His reply, “Anyone who
is breathing!” (1)
So, if you
know of someone who is “breathing”, consider joining me in this effort to
incite others with courage or good cheer through a hand written letter! Let’s
do it. Let’s take this stressful and negative world by storm and love each
other as God loves us. After all, God was a master at first setting an example of
writing us a pep talk through hand written letters: the Holy Bible.
Prayer: Give
us purpose behind these letters, Lord. Let us be a living testimony to what
your scriptures ask us to do: “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up…” (1 Thes. 5:11). May
these hand written letters draw people closer to You and bring glory to Your
name.
