You just have to wait
Encouragement Needed
If any of you are looking for a good give idea, I would like to encourage you to send a card or letter to my mother - a woman who could use as much encouragement as she can get right now. Things have been rough for my mom for quite a while and a surprise card or letter I think would really brighten her spirit and help her out of her slump. Receiving something positive and encouraging in the mail for a change from people that really care would help her feel not so alone in this crazy world.
If you feel like this is something you could do, I appreciate it and I know it will put a smile on my mother's face. I'll be dropping a card in the mail first thing tomorrow and if you'd like to do the same, you can send your words of encouragement to:
Laura N.
P.O. Box 381
Hansen, ID 83334
Thank you all so much. If nothing else, please just send good thoughts, prayers, energy, karma, etc her way! Happy giving to you all!

I am putting a card in the mail today. I know one thing, Laura certainly has a wonderful daughter to be concerned about her mother. All of us mothers should be so fortunate. My best to you, Sara Jo, and your mom.

Hi. I surely can go ahead and do this. Just so you know. There is a group I started called what can I do for you. There are so far 5 members. The idea I had for the group was for anyone to post anything they need. Especially cards send to others :). Please join and post this!

Hi Sara,
I have already written the card and will send in the morning. I am picturing your mom with angels all around her, filling her heart with God's love.
