Write a Letter
Audio / Produced by The High CallingTranscript
In his Little Red Book of Wisdom, Mark DeMoss laments the demise of letter writing. That's right: letters. Handwritten. On stationery. Sealed and stamped. Written with thought and often kept by their recipients.
A U.S. Post Office survey says that two-thirds of Americans don't expect to receive personal mail. But when they do, it makes their day. That hope, often, is what sends them to the mailbox. As Mark says, "A letter's impact almost always exceeds the writer's effort."
This is Howard Butt, Jr., of Laity Lodge. This week, reach past the keyboard to an ink pen. Handwrite a note. Say thanks or encourage someone. Email is faster, but a handwritten letter stays longer in the heart . . . in the high calling of our daily work.
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
The demands, pressures and stress of work can put a huge strain on relationships with our coworkers. This 4-day plan from Theology of Work Project and Workmatters provides simple steps you can take to be more loving to your coworkers that will transform those relationships and increase both joy and productivity at work.
