Letters

Have you ever wanted to tell someone something but there was a reason you couldn't? I don't mean that it was too hard or that you didn't want to put I mean really couldn't tell them. Maybe it's a child that you looked forward to meeting, loved them, planned for them, talked to them but a miscarriage or premature labor took them away too soon and they didn't have the chance to hear those words of love and dreams you had for them.
Or maybe it's a relative or a friend who has passed away but there's still things you w ant to tell them. The kid that you or your family have decided to sponsor and you pray for them every day but that doesn't change the fact they live on the other side of the world and you can't yell loud enough for them to hear you from home.
Or maybe it's the person who did you wrong and for whatever reason never got the chance to confront them.
Whoever it is, whatever you want to say how do you get the closure you need if you can't sit down with them face to face?

You write them a letter.

You don't have to mail it, you don't even have to put it in an envelope. You may burn it as soon as it's done, or reread it as you pray for that person. Either way you'd be surprised by how much it will help. Whether it's the closure you need or just a chance to get your thoughts down on paper writing a letter will give you that opportunity.

It's amazing how much it will help.
