I’m going to write some love letters.

Declaring our love is a spiritual practice. Perhaps it is the most important practice we can do today. It seems to me that God’s love has been somehow shut up inside me these last months. Maybe that’s why I’ve not written much. So I’ve accepted a challenge from my friend, Marc Gafni, to write a love letter every day for 90 days. “Our love lists are too short,” Marc says. So the love declared will not only be for my wife, (though I’m sure she’ll figure prominently), but will include others I know and love, some that I don’t know, some even that I don’t. I may or may not include the name. It may even include people that I have some trouble loving. But I’m convinced that a heart open to expressing the love of God can touch the heart and soul of those around her. It’s a practice so I imagine I’ll get better at it over the weeks. We’ll see . . .

Other people are starting to do it. Maybe you’d like to try? You might find some inspiration here:  www.outragteousloveletters.com
