the power of a post-it

we were the victims of a hit and run. actually, it was a random act of kindness kind of hit and run.

we awoke yesterday to find that our entire garage door was covered with hundreds of yellow post-it notes with written messages like "we love you," "you speak hope," "you speak healing," and my personal favorite, "miska rocks."

there was no sign or clue as to who performed this crazy act of grace. we discreetly asked around at church, but no one fessed up or even looked remotely guilty. beware. these people are still at large. . .

so, i'm sending out a thank you to these anonymous folks, hoping they will read this:

the amount of time and patience it must have taken you to write on and affix all of those notes to our garage door speaks volumes itself, and your written words to us were powerful and life-giving. we did feel so loved, and our kids--well, i wish you could have seen how lit up they were from the inside out while we read note after note after note. thank you, thank you for blessing us with such thoughtfulness and creative kindness. thank you for saying that we matter. (isn't that just the message we all so long to hear?) may you experience the love and delight of Christ toward you in the days to come.
