I used to write to God. I did it on a regular basis for many years. I still do once and awhile but very rare, not because I don't want to but because it is easier for me to just pray short prayers with my eyes closed or open. I wrote those prayers because I had problem concentrating when I closed my eyes and prayed. I would fall asleep within a few minutes or my mind would drift away into space. I think your idea of asking your loved ones to write some kind words to you is a good idea.

My wife wrote me supportive letters and gave them to me when I went on a combat deployment. They lifted my spirits when I needed it.

I think you have a good idea of the letters from your family.

i asked my pastor today what she thought about it and she liked the idea. I asked if she thought it vain but she said no.

I think its a wonderful idea. I would even hole punch the letters and make a binder so you dont lose them.
Also if you add pictures of you with your family where everyone looks so happy or you have fond memories of. My dad made a scrap book for me for when I feel alone.

Thanks, becca. I put the letters in an envelope and the envelope is in my crisis box which is sitting in my room

I think it's a great idea Kisses! There is something so powerful about the written word and our ability to take it in and read it again and again.

I know a man who suffered most of his adult life with alcoholism and lack of self worth who carried a letter of recommendation from his superior officer in the Navy with him in his bible. The letter was 2 pages long and detailed what a kind and caring person he was. It helped him immeasurably...especially in times of self doubt!

Do it Kisses! Reap some benefits....
