Cards and Cookies

Feb 14, 2025    Harriet Monn Stennfeld

My sister, jokingly, accuses me of sending greeting cards to strangers and baking cookies for someone almost every day. Neither is true, of course, but I do admit to being a card sender and a cookie baker. I like to send Christian cards for all occasions — birthdays, illness, sympathy, or just “thinking of you.” I hope it conveys caring, comfort, and shares God’s love with the recipient. I like to take cookies to someone who needs a little cheer or as a small thanks for a favor done. Cards are expensive, but some of my friends give me the sample cards mailed to them. For 73 cents, I can let someone know I care. And the cookies always seem to be well received — even by my sister.
