Since starting our encourage daily adventure just 12 days ago, I've already been inspired and encouraged so very much by readers and those around me, and especially by the other writers conquering the month of October with the discipline of daily writing. It has been amazing! I thought I'd share a story of encouragement I came across, and hope that we are inspired to do the same for our friends and family.
A friend has a big event coming up. Like life changing event in the works, here. Her best friend secretly contacted all of her friends and family, recruiting them to write a letter. Of inspiration, of encouragement, and just an overwhelming sense of, "Way to go!"
Y'all. We're talking hundreds of letters here! Can you imagine? Having a huge day coming up in your life, one that could make you or break you, and then receive hundreds of letters of encouragement?? How awesome is that!?
So, if you haven't written that letter, or contacted that friend that you haven't talked to in awhile, do it. Remember unexpected blessings? They're hidden in the places of unanticipated encouragement given to others.
Here's to another great week! Happy Monday, friends!
xoxo, k.

thank you for the reminder. writing letters is something I have been wanting to make time for.
ReplyDeleteIt's something that feels so hard to make the time for, but then you never regret once you actually do it. Thanks for reading :)
DeleteWOW what an amazing idea to encourage someone with a REAL letter. I love the idea and now I am going to find someone to write a REAL letter to! :)
ReplyDeleteYAY, Julie! I'm sure that wherever that letter lands, it will bless the recipient. Thanks for reading!

ReplyDeleteI wish I could tell you! I promised I would keep things vague as to not spoil the surprise;)
ReplyDeleteWow, what a huge encouragement for her! A few years ago one of our friends from church had a milestone birthday, and his wife asked everyone to send him a card. I can hardly imagine how many he received and what a blessing it must have been.
ReplyDeleteSeriously! I just received a note in an email that made my day. I can't even imagine a whole box of letters made just for encouragement!
