I’m not saying that writing a card cures every ailment. But, it is a little thing that can have a huge impact.
“I sometimes feel like I can’t do much. There’s a sibling in the Faith and they aren’t attending very well, or seem so discouraged and I can’t seem to do much to help them.”
So write a card. It isn’t much, but it’s something.
“I struggle being a consistent Barnabas (son of encouragement).”
Your efforts of encouragement aren’t about you, it is about them. So write a card.
There are times when words are stupid things. It isn’t always about what you say, sometimes it’s about saying. So write a card. “I love you.” “I’m praying for you.” “I’m here.” Can be more impactful than you realize. So write a card.
Maybe you are limited by transportation issues. Postage services aren’t limited; that is their job. So write a card. Let them deliver it.
Schedules are demanding. There are always limitations on time; between work and parenting, there is not much left over. Maybe you should reevaluate how you spend your time… Sit down and spend 10 minutes. So write a card.
Maybe the question you are asking, “Who should I write to?” The sick (refer to that list on the front of the bulletin); the discouraged; our Leadership; or just a random member you just want to encourage.
So? Write a card.
