Random Act of Kindness

Blessing to you All,
I received this reminder in my In box this week.  The Random Act Of Kindness Foundation, to which I subscribe, is making July 2021 letter writing month.  It made me stop and reflect on how few letters I actually write these days.   Perhaps it is a sign of the times in that we are now so digital and just send a quick email, or a shorter text, or and even shorter one line tweet!  And yet, I think it is true to say that most of us still enjoy finding a letter or a card in our mailboxes!  How nice it is to open something that isn't a bill or junk mail.  It makes us feel special, cared for, and loved.  Sometimes the smallest action can make the biggest impact!
So, I am offering you a challenge!  
This month, choose a name from our church membership that you don't know too well, and send them a card, a letter, or even a postcard from your vacation.  
I also invite you to do this activity with someone from outside our church family. 
Sending a personal note is a way of sharing God's love with others, and let's face it - the world right now needs more love letters than ever!
Remember " Kindness is going outside of your comfort zone to let people know they are important and loved."

Peace,
