It’s January and I’m keeping the spirit of Christmas alive. You see, each day I re-read a Christmas card and say a special prayer for the sender. I’ve been blessed over and over as I continue this practice year after year. When our girls were home, we would put the cards in a basket. Each evening at the supper table, one girl selected a card which we then read together and prayed a special prayer for the sender. Maybe this is a tradition you would like to start. It sure is special. Have a wonderful week.

Gift of Kind Words

This month I’ve been keeping a secret list of things I love about my husband and each of my girls. Every few days, I take the time to think of what I admire most about them, which I then record in a journal. Come Christmas day, I’ll include the list in a personal card addressed to each. Why don’t you do the same for those who are special to you. A kind word penetrates the heart – forever, I think. Merry Christmas, Linda
Write Your Mom a Note Today

It is so important to express gratitude to your mother (or mother in law or a woman of influence). If your relationship with your mom is a little turbulent now, it’s vital you get the pen out right away. As I was sorting through my moms belongings, I came across a few notes that I had written to her over the years. They were notes that expressed the gratitude I was feeling towards her. For example, here are the words I wrote during a very difficult time in her life and on her 71 birthday:
Hi Mom,
This year is a year of new beginnings for you. Thanks for all the sacrificesyou made for all of us throughout your life. You endured a lot of hardship when we were young in order to keep our family together. I wish you happiness like you have not had before in all your years. Love you, Linda
I found this note, and others like it, in her top dresser drawer. I like to think they brought her comfort over and over again. Ladies please, write your mom a note today. I can’t think of a richer gift really.

Ladies, if you are interested in flower gardening, you may like this idea. When your flowers are looking their best, take pictures. Print the photo and glue it to a blank note card (available at craft stores). Now you have a lovely card. I use my cards for all occasions. Have a nice day. Linda
By the way, I also use landscape photos on my cards. Fall photos look great too.
