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.

I just loved your letter! I had no idea we had so much in common! My husband too is a social butterfly and me, well I’m just a tad shy. I’ve often thought my neighbors probably thought I was weird but I always smile and wave when I see them in hopes they wouldn’t really think so.
Thank you for sharing your love for Christ and all of the tools you offer us! I pray God’s blessings upon you and your family.

Thank you for the letter. And for the information regarding your fellowship groyp.
I loved receiving your letter Christy. What a special idea you had. The reason I love to read your blog…..your recipes of coarse but I love how you profess your faith. It’s refreshing and means the world to me. Also love the quotes you post. May God richly bless you as you bless so many through your blog.

Christy,
Thanks so much for your sweet letter – it was good to hear all the good things going on in your life. I totally appreciate your honesty about meeting new people as I fall into that category as well.
I feel you are a blessing from God and appreciate all your posts, bible studies and recipes.
Spring has sprung in Tulsa and it’s a good thing because I definitely have spring fever along with the allergies to go with it.
Looking forward to a blessed Easter with my family. Hope yours is blessed as well.
Hope to hear from you again real soon . . .
Christy,
I loved reading your letter. A letter is a personal message of love from one person to another! Thank you very much. Bless you and your inspirational messages to us all.
What a great idea that letter was! I enjoyed reading it not once, but twice, because I was in a hurry the first time and didn’t want to miss a word.
I did print it out, but because paper gets lost so easily with everything that clutters up my house, I saved it in my “Southern Plate” file, where I save all of your emails and recipes.
Thank you so much for thinking of all your friends. I think of you often, and send best wishes to you and everyone in your family.
Thank you so very much for your letter. Yes, it made me happy and put a smile on my face when reading it. Hope you’re having a blessed day!
