The Lost Art of Writing a Letter

My sweet Blaze writes to her grandma. She takes a pen, and a piece of paper, she writes something personal and friendly, she puts it into an envelope and addresses it, she applies the proper postage, and walks it to the mailbox. I have never told her to, I have never even taught her how. She just did it, completely unsolicited, on her own. This last month has been extremely difficult for my mother in law (she lost her dad and her dog), and so Blaze's last letter, was somewhat sympathetic. However, I don't think that compassion is her gift! lol! This is the letter (with permission from Blaze):

"Dear Grandma,
Sorry I didn't write sooner, but I've been pre-occupied over Summer affairs. well i've had a great time for summer, i have some new friend's! I'm sorry for Sophie and your Dad, i bet your sad :( well it's not the end of the world, and i bet you will still be happy!
Your
loving,
Grand-daughter Blaze"

  2. Hey Chaundra!
    I wanted to comment where you'd be sure to see it. We'd LOVE to have you join the blog study! The book is "LORD, Teach me to study the Bible in 28Days" You may be able to find it at a Christian bookstore, or you can buy it straight from the ministry at Precept.org. Also....if you go to the Precept site, they may have the first week available as a free download.
    Much, much love to you!
    Jes
