The Handwritten Note

The
handwritten note is a rare breed these days. In a
world of email, text messaging, instant
messenger(they're different, trust me) and cell
phones which provide instant access to almost
anyone, a note, written with pen and ink is worth
keeping. Aunt Betty sent us a note the other day.
Written on a small card no doubt chosen from
amongst her many small cards purposed for
encouraging or saying hello to various family
members, her aged hands communicated what no
email or phone call could convey better. Love and
thoughtfulness.
Every so often she'll send us a note catching up on what she's doing and letting us know we're in her prayers. Sometimes short written notes are just the thing needed for a long time of encouragement.
Write a note to someone. All the greats wrote voraciously. Adams, Truman, Washington, Lincoln, Jenkins. It's a habit I think I'll start but know it'll take me a lifetime to master.
