That’s so encouraging, Lara! It is the thought that counts! I have some dear friends in Japan who always send us beautiful cards during the holidays; when we didn’t make any cards ourselves, I began searching the stores for the “perfect” card. I didn’t find it — so I’ll be sending them a handwritten letter instead. But I think it will be more meaningful!

Thanks for the reminder Samantha. We often talk ourselves out of doing things because we don’t have time to add all the glittering details we think will make it special. But I received a lovely letter from an elderly lady last week telling me how she treasured the very imperfect things I did bother to send. It is very humbling. Wishing you a happy new year, and plenty of time to reflect on what is truly important. lara

The time the cards are mailed will be perfect. It is after the holidays when people really have time to consider and reflect a bit. The sharing and relational heart of our heavenly Father is beautifully reflected in taking time to communicate and connect. The recipients of your cards will be pleasantly surprised.
