We seem to have seen an uptick in the number of Christmas cards we received this year. More and more we noticed that family and friends are sending a card with a montage of pictures and some kind of holiday greeting. Simple but very fun to receive.
When we take down the Christmas decorations for another year, the cards usually get thrown out. We take one last look but then in the garbage can they go.
But I was surprised when I received a postcard from our friends, Dan and Janelle.
They wrote: It has been our tradition over the past few years after the Christmas season to keep all of the Christmas cards we received and personally pray for each individual or family during our mealtime prayers in the weeks that follow. This card is being sent to let you know that we prayed for you today."
Dan and Janelle also write a little note that personalizes the card for each recipient.
Sherri says that she knew they did this each year. Somehow I missed the memo.
Next year we're going to follow suit. What better time than to pray that the new year brings a multitude of blessings for those you love?
An idea you might want to consider, huh?
