Empty Mailboxes

Does that sound sad to you?


I conjure up a picture of an elderly person tottering out to the box only to find emptiness, not even a flyer from Walmart.  In this world of high tech the mailbox at the end of the driveway is becoming a relic. A letter with a stamp and a hand written address is a rarity.


Think about it.


God, the Maker of the Universe and More took the time to write us a letter.  He had (has) things to tell us, things that He knew (knows) we need to know.  Not only does His Word never get old, It is active, living and always relevant. 


Another kind of sad picture is a mailbox over stuffed with letters, newspapers and flyers, some hanging out wet and yellowed with age.  What does that mean?  The person must be away, out of town, sick or just doesn't care.
Yes the majority of the stuff probably does not matter but there may be a note in there that could change a life's course.


Have you checked your "mailbox" lately?  I know for certain that there is a love letter and some good words of instruction waiting just for you.


Blessings!
