My brother used to work at a Christian radio station and even though we were far apart, we connected through his sharing of all his enjoyment of the various teachers and music.<br /><br />I can relate to those stressing over quite- a- lot mornings. Isn't it awesome when the Father how the Father uses creation to remind us of His presence and further demonstrate His love to us!

Great post. Glad you dived in. I might as well be new at FMF (#28)as I haven't participated in at least a year if not longer and even then...kind of sparse.<br /><br />I think that you are spot on with connection. The real personal in your face connection is great. I love a letter too. Though I do feel that all connection can be nurtured if we truly invest ourselves in it. Even the long distance internet ones.<br /><br />Wonderful encouragement Pat. :) Kelly Blackwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114157685843686254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608309370857009142.post-89572159179065076122017-01-06T16:17:26.362-08:002017-01-06T16:17:26.362-08:00Yes!

She passed away 40 years ago, but I treasure that card even more today than I did the day I received it. pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01521610604179538377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608309370857009142.post-85804273884902643892017-01-06T16:11:32.492-08:002017-01-06T16:11:32.492-08:00Blessings to you Aliyah!

I agree that weddings are wonderful places for connection.

Yes, there is truly a delusion of connectedness, and if we aren't careful chances are we will wind up more disconnected than connected. <br /><br />Glad you took the plunge, my friend!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12838677013269570870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608309370857009142.post-6279598182140254742017-01-06T13:02:13.993-08:002017-01-06T13:02:13.993-08:00Hi, welcome to FMF!

While there are many benefits to connecting online I agree, there is something especially beautiful about receiving a handwritten letter, particularly as it's such a rare occurrence these days.

YOu put things in to perspective so beautifully and you made me think! I think people have really lost the art of loving and the delusion of social media/the web is creating such a lonely place in fact. I pray we can all connect more fully where we are and with the people around us!
