Power In The Written Word

Have you ever received a written note that has touched your heart deeply? In a day and age of emailing, texting, facetiming, Facebooking, and skyping, the hand-written note is at risk of becoming extinct. There is hardly a greater gift you can give someone than a note written  in your own handwriting. Maybe you are unable to get a meal to someone in need. The note is always appropriate. Perhaps someone has had a victory in weight loss - a note of congratulations is such encouragement. Maybe it is a memory of a friend that reminds you of how long your friendship has endured. I just received one of these and it motivated me to get this blog written. This brief article is from a Reader's Digest written in 1999 which greatly impacted me. It may be a little hard to read, but you will be glad you made the effort. I think you will be moved as you ponder the significance a written note can have on someone.
