Just a Simple Greeting Card

Just a Simple Greeting Card

Sending a greeting card shows the significant impact of seemingly small, faithful acts of kindness and encourages faithfulness in serving others. Paul wrote “So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.” Galatians 6:9 (NLT). He also wrote to the Christians in Corinth “Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” I Corinthians 15:58 (NIV).

You’re 70, You’re Beautiful And You’re Mine

The card read “For My Beautiful Wife-A Birthday Wish Filled With Love.” A lovely pink card with an equally lovely sentiment. I was grateful for his kindness because at this age I rarely feel beautiful. That evening I was surprised to find another envelope inscribed “Another Card” (typical of my husband’s humor). When I opened it, I saw “You’re 70” with the 70 emblazoned in shiny red numbers—seven inches high!
