In this instant age, there is something about a handwritten letter that becomes more special. I have several I hope to write this summer in response to some letters received. Yes, there is texting and email, but a handwritten note is a treasure. I think it is even more fun if the card is handmade.
Back in 1963, the USPS introduced the zip code to help mail reach the intended recipient more efficiently. ZIP was an acronym for "Zone Improvement Plan". Now you know!
By 1983, an additional four digits was add. Keeping the mail moving swiftly,efficiently and accurately was the goal. Zip Codes worked. They are still working today.
Is there a country song about Heaven's zip code? It seems as if there should be. What if we had to attach a zip code to our prayers? I am so grateful we don't. This scripture came to mind:
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." -Matthew 7:7
We were told to ask, to seek and to knock. Those are all action words. In Him, we find our purpose and begin to understand our destination.We are told to go and make disciples.
Do we go? Do we find what we are looking for?
Today, I am grateful for Zip Codes.
