I just finished a book about a woman who finds her long lost pen pal in Australia, called The Australian Pen Pal. It shows a touching side of how pen pals can impact your life, even from halfway around the world. http://michellelinngust.com if you'd like to know more.lauragreene97https://www.blogger.com/profile/16771573142415125221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3076646807535708914.post-67437225297188804912011-06-19T16:13:10.311+10:002011-06-19T16:13:10.311+10:00And I didn't even mention that my girlfriend a...And I didn't even mention that my girlfriend and I sang at their wedding reception!Rita Galiehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586506137798711397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3076646807535708914.post-89940654705961550272011-06-19T09:52:48.124+10:002011-06-19T09:52:48.124+10:00Hello Rita,

It was very exciting and to this day, thirty something years later, I still have those letters and pictures he sent me. As an adult, I’ve been involved in the Prison Pen Pal Program for the past six years. Inmates don’t have access to computers. They are often forgotten not only by society, but their family. You can’t begin to realize what a card or letter can do to lift their spirits and encourage them to walk in faith.<br /><br />I had such fond memories of having a pen pal in my younger days as well as being involved in the pen pal ministry. My ten-year old daughter signed up for a Christian pen pal about a year ago. She loves to check the mail to see if she’s received a letter. And what fun it is for her to correspond with someone so many states away.Kym McNabneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17027367312128788703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3076646807535708914.post-83886555683546585702011-06-11T00:21:22.912+10:002011-06-11T00:21:22.912+10:00So true about the loss of anticipation in this ...So true about the loss of anticipation in this 'instant everything' society. And yet it's always a pleasure to read about God's hand in establishing loving relationships, both then and now.Margaret Lepkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08147233663724759684noreply@blogger.com
