With Facebook, email, and other quick forms of communication, none of us spend much time anymore writing cards and sending them through the mail. It’s kind of sad, and yet I’m super thankful for the ability to quickly text someone when they are on my heart. I can check up on loved ones through Facebook, seeing pictures of their kids, praying for their needs. I can sit down and send a thoughtful email to someone, and they can receive it within seconds. I am always encouraged when I received these types of online or phone correspondence.
Still, handwritten cards from a dear one are always wonderful. My aunt and uncle (my mom’s sister) came all the way from Arkansas to visit us this weekend. Look what my aunt brought me:
Know who that is? My kids couldn’t figure it out at first.
Those are two Christmas cards my mom had sent out when my brother and I were little. Yep, that’s my brother and me, back in the 70’s.
Fun as those were to see again, the real treasure is found on the back of those cards. From top to bottom, she filled the space giving an update on our family at the time – all hand written in my mom’s lovely handwriting.
I love these. I’m supposed to share them with my brother. Hopefully I will “remember” to take them down to Kansas sometime when we visit. ;)
What are you thankful for? It’s Gratituesday….please share what God is doing in your life!
That is so sweet! And a great reminder too!
My daughter beening sick. Not that fact she’s sick but the fact we spend yesterday at home and didn’t go anywhere. That was nice. Taking her to the dr’s in couple of hours.
I am thankful that God does not expect me to be perfect even though I’m sure He longs for us to grow more like Him and that would be perfect.

I’m grateful that we’ve been picked by a mother to adopt a baby boy due next month! Been waiting for that call from the agency for a long time now! Grateful God answered our prayers and continues to answer them.
Cute pics! I love your weekly focus on gratitude. I believe that if more of us did this, the world would be a better place. Thank you for the great reminder that technology is wonderful for quick communication, but we should take the time to remember the “old fashioned” ways of communicating. Facebook posts won’t be handed down quite like handwritten Christmas cards. Great post!
