Notes are quite potent. They express your thanks, encouragement, sympathy, apology, congratulations, feelings, and requests to other people.

Several individuals generate notes on a pc and print them or send them by means of the Internet. However, I believe the most productive notes are handwritten. A handwritten note is individual and rare. Due to this, it will be offered a lot more consideration by the reader and have optimum influence.

A few weeks ago I was in Michigan for my dad's funeral. Even though there I attended my mom's church on Sunday and met her pastor for the second time. Whilst talking to him, I learned that his mother died a few months ago and his dad was critically ill. On my way residence to Virginia, I had a quit at Chicago O'Hare Airport. Even though waiting for my connecting flight, I pulled out a box of note cards and wrote several notes and mailed them. 1 of these was an encouraging note to my mom's pastor. I identified out later that he was so touched by the note that he took it to his church and read it at a meeting. He made it clear to these in attendance how significantly of an encouragement it was to him. What I didn't know when I wrote the note was that during the following week not only did his dad pass away but his wife was diagnosed with cancer. I feel God employed my note to support him in the course of a very difficult time in his life. I also wonder how numerous others he talked to were modified because of that note. Possibly some of them are now writing notes as nicely. What if I hadn't written that note?

I would encourage you to start writing notes routinely. What a easy way to influence people's lives in a positive way. If you are concerned about how to get started out, the following two books on the topic have been the most useful to me:

- "The Art of the Handwritten Note: A Guide to Reclaiming Civilized Communication" by Margaret Shepherd the guide to note brokering

- "Organization Notes: Writing Individual Notes That Develop Professional Relationships" by Florence Isaacs

Get a note card, pen and stamp. Compose a note to a person who has been on your mind nowadays. Only God knows how much that person, and the world, will change for the better due to the few minutes you take out of your busy schedule to compose a handful of sentences.
