Around Christmas we read a post somewhere that suggested saving your
Christmas cards and, after Christmas, selecting one each day and praying for the
person who sent the card. We loved the idea and prayed for lots of
relatives and friends all over the country as their Christmas card was pulled.
With Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, and my birthday all
occurring within the last few months, we have had quite an assortment of
greeting cards arriving in the mail. We decided to continue the prayer card
ministry we started with our Christmas cards.
It is exciting to see who we will
be praying for each day. It brings a sense of closeness to that person as we
reminisce about how our lives intertwined at some point along life’s road. And
when we hit upon someone we know very well, we can pray for specific needs in
their lives that we have been made aware of.
I don’t know who first suggested the idea, but I am very
thankful God brought it to Dick’s and my attention and encouraged us to keep
this prayer ministry going all year long. What huge blessings from such a
simple action.
“Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God.
I always pray for you, and I make my requests
with a heart full of joy.”
Philippians 1:3-4
Be encouraged today, my friend!
