Greeting Cards

I used to buy greeting cards all the time but then I would end up writing a mini-novel inside. My friends stopped opening my cards right away, saving them for later "when I have time to read". So then I went to buying blank cards and then eventually to just grabbing some paper and writing a letter. I guess a card just became not quite enough. Lately though I have been pondering the simplicity of just a little note to touch that one place that needs a touch. It makes me think of God and how He not only wrote huge symphonies in the skies and oceans and mountains of the world but also little love notes in the butterflies, snowflakes, unexpected notes from friends, or that unexpected free cup of coffee the cafe owner just felt like bestowing upon me this morning. Sometimes He reaches us with entire volumes lavishing His love on us in buckets. Other times He just whispers "I love you" and it is overwhelming.
