Recently I went to a ladies conference that did something I had never seen done at an event like this. There were approximately 40-50 ladies present and each received a gift bag. Each bag contained 6-8 greeting cards addressed to women all over the country. They were stamped and ready to go…They just needed a personal note written inside each one.
Our assignment was to write an encouraging note inside
each card and pop them in the mail.
For the most part we didn’t know the individuals to whom we would be writing. A few had a note with info about the recipient. I got a couple that was for teenagers and it was good to know their ages. The rest we had no idea…No idea of their needs, their ages, their relationship with the Lord, nothing.
What would we write? We were challenged to be encouraging! I intend to pray over my cards and ask for the Holy Spirit’s guidance as I begin to write the words that are given to me.
These ladies are going to be extremely surprised!

Now, sending cards has kind of gone by the wayside. I don’t know about you… but the only cards I get now days are graduation announcements from very close relatives, a birthday card from my mother, mother’s day cards from my kids, and anniversary cards from my hubby. I don’t think I even got any Christmas cards last year! So getting cards in the mail is almost unheard of. I believe that’s what makes this project even more special!
How wonderful would it be to get a random card from someone who is thinking about you and praying for you?

What about you? When was the last time you mailed a card to someone? You can pick up a package of pretty cards that are blank in the middle at most dollar stores for $1. Or check out these Super Cute Blank Greeting Cards on Amazon. I also really like these
Floral Prints with Inspirational Bible Quotes. If you like the chalkboard look check out these Chalkboard Have Faith Notecards. These are great to have on hand to send a Thank you or just an encouraging note. It doesn’t take long to say, “I am thinking about you today and praying for you!” You might just make someone’s day!
So go ahead…send a card to that person
who is on your mind today and be a Blessing to them!
Do you still send cards? On what occasions?
