Emphasis Preaching Journal

As Mary grew older, especially after her husband of 56 years had passed away, she found great joy in writing letters to the people she had known and loved down through the years of her life. She wrote in the morning, often completing several letters before breakfast. She always began the letters by remembering something special that she had shared with the person she was writing. She remembered birthday parties and Christmas celebrations, times of joy and times of sadness, graduations and travels, moments shared and not forgotten.
