Typically, my answer to this question would be "no one", with maybe some self-justification added on the end.
6 months ago was a very dark time for me. As I was just cleaning a desk top when some books fell I saw a card an Aunt had sent me during that time. I opened the card to read it again. Still encouraging and thoughtful just as it was earlier this year. And then I realized that you know never what it could mean to someone to send them a thoughtful note.
You never know someone's entire story (unless you're terribly close to them), their big life story or even just the story of their day. Popping a note their way could be the high point of an already good day, and it could be the bright point of a dark week.
Snail mail is best I suppose since that isn't "archived" into the google cyberworld. Now my aunt's card is taped at eye level to my left in my office. Always there, always reminding me to, as it says, "Rejoice and be glad in the day the Lord has made."
What are some of your creative ways to touch someone?
