A letter to you
Today, as I plucked our mail out of the mailbox, I began thinking of how rapidly life has changed. Most days I walk inside with a collection of catalogs and junk mail. I walk straight to the trash and stand over it as I go through them one by one. It is seldom that there is anything left in my hands when I turn around.
From time to time, Mama will send me a letter. Every now and then I get a card from my mother in law. Those are rare occurrences but a special joy when they happen. Then, I got to thinking about you and how it would be neat if I could send my readers actual letters from time to time. I quickly went over the math and cost of stamps and felt a little bit defeated when I saw the impossibility of it all.
But, I had an idea. I could write a letter and post it here, for you to download and print if you want. I sat down to my computer and a few minutes later, I had written a letter to you, a friend.
The letter is below. It’s just a pdf. My hope is that you’ll print it off to read, making it come to life as a real paper letter like we had back in the old days. It was just a silly, heartfelt notion of me reaching out to you and sharing my heart and life as a friend would. So if you decide to complete that connection by reading it, thank you.

Loved your letter, it was truly heart warming
Thank you , and for all the wonderful recipes
I’ve tried and loved!
It was so nice hearing from you, Christy! We are enjoying a mild spring down here in Okeechobee, Florida. My husband and I sit out in the backyard in the early evening watching our birds and squirrels at the feeders. We enjoy watching God’s creatures while we have evening coffee. I have family on Sand Mountain in Northeast Alabama…they are anxiously awaiting spring there . Have a good week and y’all take care!
Thank you for taking time to write such a sweet letter. I love your recipes but I love your stories more, and you always seem to bless me with just the right scripture. I don’t do facebook but keep you in prayers to be a blessing as well as receive one thru this study. Honestly don’t know how you have time to do it all. Have a wonderful spring!
Thank you for your letter! I love it when someone takes the time to share a bit of their life with me. I printed mine out as you suggested and at once felt a connection. I can relate to having a husband that is somewhat more social. I savor quite unhurried moments. Please know that I enjoy the Bible study and all of your cookbooks. I give them as gifts and always receive the nicest thank-yous.
God bless!
Thank you Christy. a breath of fresh air after a stressful day at work.
It is so refreshing to read the words specially written by someone who cares for others. I do hope, I’ll be blessed by your letters again. I really enjoyed it. Merci ❣️
God bless you and your family.

That brought back memories of writing letters to aunts and uncles when my family moved south to Alabama from Maryland….you have inspired me to write a letter…. thank you and have a wonderful spring!
What a sweet, thoughtful thing to do, loved the letter! Hoping you will do more in the coming months. My day brightens when I see something from you, like my best friend is here!
