Encouraging Words

This summer we made "encouragement jars" with Sculpey clay. We each made one and then put them all together, along with a paper holder, and then baked them. Since then, we have been busy writing and receiving notes from each other. Last week, I received two notes - one from each of the girls. Allie had used the alphabet stamps to write me a sweet note (which you can see below) and Beth made me a beautiful card with the following letter:
"Dear Mom, You are so kind to me when I am sad. I love you so much and I never want to leave your side! Love, Beth"
Both these notes just make me smile. What a blessing to be able to encourage each other in a variety of ways!
