The Power of Notes

Notes!  Don't you love a good note?  It is very common to find notes around our house from one person to another.  Usually they are addressed to Daddy asking him to wake up one of the girls when he gets home for a little middle of the night date.  These dates usually consist of 1 Cosby episode we have DVR'd and maybe a snack.  Every once in a while the girls will even sneak a note into his lunchbox.  He said it always makes his day and many of his buddies seem a little jealous they don't notes in their lunchboxes (even though they are 'tough' guys and would never admit it.  I was just reminded about the power of notes as I was reading what one of my college girly wrote on her blog.  Here is what she shared...

At the begining of the year I would leave little post it notes in her lunch. Nothing big...sometimes just a heart or smiley face or "have a pizza-tastic day" BUT life has gotten busy and I kept forgetting. Then one day I remembered and snuck it in her lunchbox. 2 days in a row. And do you know what I found in her coat pocket...those 2 notes. She was saving them. She treasured them. And everyday for the past 3 weeks she has handed me a post it note and a pen to write her a quick note. She can't wait to see what words of love and encouragement I will give her.

That got me thinking about the love letter someone else has written me...that I often let life get in the way of. God wrote me a love letter and it is preserved for me to open everyday if I don't forget. He's got words of love and encouragement. He didn't forget to write it or send it. How many do I have sitting collecting dust around my house? Too many and too embarrased to say.
