ADVENTure Day 14 –

I used to send out Christmas cards.  Like most people now, I send Facebook  greetings and forego the paper cards and letters.  Back when cards were more common, it was an encouragement to receive and display them.  My godparents got tons of them which they displayed all over including the door behind me in the picture.

Have you ever gotten an encouraging letter?  There have been days that I have been discouraged and a letter will come along that says just the right things to lift my spirits.  In Acts 15, the heads of the early church sent a letter to Antioch and in verse 31 (NKJV) it is said, “When they had read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement.”

Is there someone you know to whom a letter of encouragement would mean a lot?  Don’t be afraid to send them a Christmas card or a letter or an email to them.  Let them know how much they have meant to you.  Your kind words could mean the world to them!
