Are you making someone's day?

Over the past few months, I've started sending birthday and anniversary cards to people in my church through the SendOutCards system. When my church newsletter comes, I look through the list of birthdays and anniversaries for the month and enter the dates for people I know in my contact manager. The system gives me a reminder 7 days ahead of time so I can send a card.

Well, I was beginning to wonder if people were receiving the cards or were just too busy to say anything about it. Yesterday when I walked into church, there stood a lady who I had sent an anniversary card the first week in January. She thanked me profusely for the card and said how nice it was that someone had remembered their anniversary!

Then when we were seated in the sanctuary, we sat beside a couple who were celebrating their 35th anniversary that day. And of course I had sent them a card last week and congratulated them on 35 years of marriage. And what did this lady say to me? "Thanks so much for the anniversary card! How did you know it was our anniversary? We really didn't expect anyone to remember!"

That simple act of sending a card had made an impression on both of these women. The thought that someone had cared enough to send a card meant a lot to both of them, in this fast-paced world that we live in.
