Notecards for Military Servicemembers

I spent two days creating some red, white and blue notecards for folks at our church to send to military servicemen and women overseas. Our congregation (Eastridge Church of Christ) sends cards, letters, pictures and packages to military folks on a regular basis. Our goal is to let them know that they are cared about and prayed for by many people.

Making notecards is really a small effort, but it's something that I can do. I hope to provide a variety cards each Sunday so that anyone who wants to write a personal note can do so without feeling the need to go out and purchase a card or try to write a long letter. The convenience of having the cards and envelopes at the church will hopefully make it easier for others to jot down a note of encouragement right on the spot. I know I often forget to buy a card for someone and don't want to make a special trip sometimes. This eliminates that worry.

Right now, I have 16 cards made and I hope to have more ready by this Sunday. No two cards are alike. I love being creative and I love doing things for others, so this is a treat for me.

Making notecards for military servicemembers...consider doing this yourself. It doesn't matter if you believe in the war or not. Making another person feel important doesn't have anything to do with politics. You make someone feel special is something that you do because it's the right thing to do.
