Amongst my possessions, I have a small pile of letters and note cards that I have received from friends through out the years. They have written kind thoughts and compliments which I have cherished. When I get blue, sometimes I reread them to boost my spirits. It's nice to be able to have a tangible remembrance of those past friends too.
While I have sent countless cards to my cyber stamping friends, recently I have decided that I really should be sending cards to people that I know in real life. At church I work with the children in Sunday School. Sometimes it can be frustrating, but I do see such sweet acts of kindness from these kids too.
Today we had a Quarterly Activity of a Summer Fun Fair. Just a fun time, play games, eat lunch. Two of the kids were so loving and kind today that I just had to make a card to send them.
This is for a boy named John who was really kind to grab my DS, E's hand and help him through the Fun Fair. E* was a bit uncertain of the whole activity but John grabbed his hand when assigned as his partner. Said, "Let's go!" And helped E, a little bit younger, through the activities.
This card is for an older girl named Reagan who kindly accepted being partners with a younger and very squirrly boy. I'm sure she would have prefered being partnered with a friend. But showing such kindness and love to another boy was a selfless act which I'm sure will not go unrewarded.
These are simple cards that will hopefully bring a ray of sunshine into a young child's heart. I know that I love it when a friend, or even an aquaintance takes the time to compliment me. I'm certainly glad that I finally bought this soon to be retired stamp set! It'll be perfect for the little ones (and not so little ones) at church.

The more I read your blog the sweeter you are. We are all blessed to have a person like you in bloggerland. I cam\n't thank you enough for all the help you have given me (a total stranger) I can't imagine what you do in your own community. You have earned a place in heaven. Thanks Dawn
what a wonderful thing to do Dawn
that's right Kathy. Dawn has helped me through this blog deal. I've blogged for some time but never added all the frills. Thanx to Dawn, I have.
obviously a problem with people using my computers when they visit is that they linger as a logged on user. That last comment was NOT from Jocelyn but from me. share and share alike.
So very sweet! I'm sure they loved receiving encouraging comments from you. I have come to the same conclusion recently about sending more cards to people that I know in real life. Thanks for the inspiration. :)
