A letter to you

Today, as I plucked our mail out of the mailbox, I began thinking of how rapidly life has changed. Most days I walk inside with a collection of catalogs and junk mail. I walk straight to the trash and stand over it as I go through them one by one. It is seldom that there is anything left in my hands when I turn around.
From time to time, Mama will send me a letter. Every now and then I get a card from my mother in law. Those are rare occurrences but a special joy when they happen. Then, I got to thinking about you and how it would be neat if I could send my readers actual letters from time to time. I quickly went over the math and cost of stamps and felt a little bit defeated when I saw the impossibility of it all.
But, I had an idea. I could write a letter and post it here, for you to download and print if you want. I sat down to my computer and a few minutes later, I had written a letter to you, a friend.
The letter is below. It’s just a pdf. My hope is that you’ll print it off to read, making it come to life as a real paper letter like we had back in the old days. It was just a silly, heartfelt notion of me reaching out to you and sharing my heart and life as a friend would. So if you decide to complete that connection by reading it, thank you.

Good to hear all about what is going on! I pray continued blessings for you and your family.
This really touched me. Hugs!
I’m with you, Christy! I like snail mail from family and friends. Christmas Letters are my favorites and I look forward to them. So much information in one envelope! Love them! I’m probably the only one who reads all of them!
Greetings from Hollister CA! Thank you so much for your letter! I also just wanted to say that your recipes bring our family so much joy!
God Bless,
Robin
Christy, thank you! That was so fun to read. I love your candid style, and your honesty!
I love reading your blogs AND your letters! 🙂
Take care~
Perfect timing for your letter. A much needed surgery was cancelled again. I was so angry and unhappy. It is refreshing to read about personal things of others. In your letter you overcome and made the best of your situation. In the end, faith, peace abound. Thank you. I look forward to your next letter.
Your Sister in Christ.

It is always wonderful to receive a letter from a friend and even though we have never met, I feel like we would be great friends. Thank you for your letter! I love your cookbooks and the stories within them. Keep up the great work!
