Letters of Love…from kiddos! (American Greetings Giveaway!)

FAITH & FAMILY

6 Feb

Happy Friday!!

I hope you are enjoying my series on Letters of Love!

Screen-Shot-2015-02-02-at-10.57.55-AM

I am reminded again and again of how powerful words can be.  They can wound us deeply, or they can bring healing and nourishment to our soul. 

I prefer the latter, don’t you?  :)   I wish I could say that my words always only bring healing, but unfortunately that would not be true.  God is still teaching me.

But I LOVE how written words from loved ones, spouses, or special friends can bring so much joy into our lives.   

And wouldn’t you agree that there is nothing more beautiful than love notes from our kids?!!!!

 These are the types of notes that melt our hearts…

I wish ALL of the notes from our children were so sweet, but sometimes they contain a little “truth” too…  

o-MOTHER-570

HA!!  I like how “horific”  got sneaked in there.  :)  

And then there are those love letters from children that make us laugh…

Hey, if your child LOVES cows, than consider this a HUGE compliment!!  

This is an example of a letter Eli would write to me…

18h21UC

Such a “boy note.”

And if you are blessed enough to get a picture to go with your love note….well, enough said.

o-FABULOUS-570

 See how great letters of love are?!!!

I didn’t even receive any of the above letters, but they made ME smile!

My mom LOVED to send cards to people.  It is my goal this year to be better at sending cards to loved ones, and I hope to encourage others to do so as well!

 So, I was super excited when I was contacted by American Greetings to host a giveaway for them because it fit right in with what I was already doing on my blog!

    My boys make me laugh almost daily and I treasure the love notes and cards they write and that come home in their back packs.
    As a Mom of 3 boys I love the funny handwritten messages above and I’m off to look at the printable cards too!

    I think there is nothing more special than getting cards. The Lord seems to always know when I need a ” pick-me-up” and so many times it is from someone so unexpected.

    All 4 of my children are grown now but one card that my youngest child wrote for me was shaped like a tea cup and had a little poem on it. Inside the little tea cup pocket was 2 tea bags for us to have a cup of tea together, it was so sweet.

    I have held on to sweet notes that I have received from my precious grown children. I do on occasion take those out from a dusty box that is kept under my bed and laugh or cry while re reading them. I am a preschool teacher and never get tired of reading words of affection from those sweet four year olds. I have to say that since I lost my Mother in 2014, her cards and letters are more special than I ever dreamed one could be. Just wished I had kept more.

    I sure wish I still had some of those precious notes my children wrote when they were little. I gave them back to my children when I moved overseas some years ago.

    Now that I am back we send cards back and forth. American Greetings are the greatest o help us keep up with one another and to send special greetings too!

    My kiddos leave me love notes all the time. I love their excitement of spelling the words themselves and giving the card they made to me and my husband. Notes that say “I love you Mom” make me smile and give me peace. I am thankful to have each of my children, God’s gift to me!

    My favorite note from a child was one I had taped inside my medicine closet. My youngest child had discovered my calculator. He produced a tape with the biggest number he could generate. He wrote me a note “if you don’t pay me this you will have to get a job” It made me smile so many times.

    My favorite love note is the first mother’s day card I got from my oldest son, Sam, in pre-school. They made the cards and took a field trip to the post office to mail them. His teacher told me to expect a surprise and it was when I opened the card he had made and it said, Love, John! He wanted to be John Arbuckle from Garfield. We still laugh about it 25 years later.

    Favorite love letter is from my now husband on our last day apart, while he was still in the service. After a year apart that last night miles away from each other was exciting, fun, and a bit scary! Ready for lots of change, but nervous for where those changes would take us.
