A note of encouragement

Submitted for the Valentine's contest:
Normally I don't put much thought into Valentine's Day, but I had a great time thinking of ways to bless someone else. I mailed a Valentine card to fifteen different single young ladies, single mothers, and widows that I know. I pasted a special poem inside the card that read:

Valentine Treasures

Valentine treasures are people who
Have often crossed your mind,
Family, friends and others, too,
Who in your life have shined
The warmth of love or a spark of light
That makes you remember them;
No matter how long since you've actually met,
Each one is a luminous gem
Who gleams and glows in your memory,
Bringing special pleasures,
And that's why this Valentine comes to you:
You're one of those sparkling treasures!

By Joanna Fuchs

I wrote a note in each ladies card letting her know just what she has meant to me and how I've been blessed by her life. Then, I enclosed a blank Valentine Card, inside of each ladies card, along with a challenge that they find someone who was lonely this Valentine's Day and give them the enclosed card, "because everyone enjoys a bit of love and encouragement".

What a neat idea! I think I'll do that next year, as it's a little late for me to do this year.
