E is for . . . Envelope ENCOURAGEMENT Flash Mob

Do you like to use colourful envelopes or stickers? I do. I especially like to make envelopes out of old calendars.

Mail – What do you think of when you hear that word?

Something encouraging and unexpected?

I was part of a group that sent mail to church folks. This was mail that was encouraging and unexpected. We sent 104 cards to senior folks in our congregation. We prayed (as a group) for the folks. And some writers/encouragers also prayed for each card they wrote.

Some recipients were known to the writers. And some weren’t. Yet because we had a page full of sentiments (and God’s insightful help), it was easy to offer personalized encouragement for someone’s day, something that says, “I see YOU.”

We flash mobbed them with love. Our group was a mob of 9 who sent encouragement to a mob of 106. What a worthwhile use of time.

Your Turn . . . When was the last time you sent someone an encouragement card? . . . When was the last time you received something like this in the mail?
