\nMy list of people to bless is growing.
\nDo you know someone who needs an encouragement? Let me know and I’ll add them to my list.
\nToday, I bless YOU, my blog friends. Thank you for taking time to read my random thoughts posted here in cyber space. It means a lot to me that you click on that link and take the time to read. I’d love it if you posted a comment to share your own story.
\nEvery Wednesday I spend the evening at Starbucks watching hundreds of people coming and going as they pop in for some java or hang out to write papers, study for tests or chat with friends. This University Village Starbucks is full of college students so I feel like the\u00a0old gray mare\u00a0here.
\nI see a young couple staring into each other’s eyes in between study sessions. I wonder what they are talking about? It makes me remember study nights when I was a young college student.
\nI see an older, gray haired gentlemen nestled in amongst the twenty-something students, reading and taking notes. Is he a professor? A student? A grandpa?
\nI love this time every week because I get to pray for all these people. I bless them and ask God to touch their lives in a unique way tonight.
\nCan I challenge you to start your own Lenten Love Letter List?
\nIs there someone in your life who needs a phone call, an email or a hand written card – just because?
\nRemind them they are precious in God’s sight and chosen for such a time as this.
\nTell them how much you care about their day.
\nShow them you care enough to take just a few minutes to write that note.
\nCome back to my blog and tell me the stories.
\nI have so many stories of people who have contacted me weeks, months or years\u00a0after receiving one of my notes. They\u00a0let me know that the\u00a0encouragement I sent came at the perfect time.
\nIt’s just so much fun. I want to share the process with you too.
\nWho will be your first recipient of a love letter? Tell me please!
\nGod bless your heart.
