Thank you for visiting Weekend Kindness-- the blog that helps you build positive relationships! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed so that you don't miss a single post from one of our great authors!

Yes, we know it’s old fashioned– snail mail seems a thing of the past. Any yet with the ads, the gaudy graphics, and the music that alerts everyone around that you just received one, online greetings just don’t say you care like a card made of card stock.

For this week’s Weekend Kindness you need to procure (get, purchase, etc.) a paper card that encourages someone, write a little note, and send it off. We realise that you may not get the reaction this weekend (though you may find another way to send it than snail mail) but the point of this is what we’re learning in the process and at some later date we can have an update of what happened. Tell us who you’re sending it to and why. Give us a good story, and make a difference.

    I am SO in! I did my phone call yesterday but won’t blog about it as it was a little too personal for the other party. This card idea is lovely and couldn’t have come at a better time - with two brand new little babies in the family, a grandmother facing some big challenges next month, and a dear friend from church stuck at home because she’s sick, I have a literal stack of opportunities!

    I’m in on this one, sorry I never blogged about my phone call…it was a dud. I ended up having to leave a message to a friend who is just getting started homeschooling, told her I was praying for her and cheering her on, and that I’d get in touch again soon.
    I’ve already got a card waiting to be sent to a hurting friend, so I’ll blog on time this week!

    I’m in!! I’ve actually already sent a card this week to a friend who’s sick. But I’m going to send out another one, I have an old friend that I haven’t heard from in a while and I’d like to let her know that I’m thinking of her.
