Today's scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:1-2
Thank you for keeping up with our journey through 1 Corinthians. Without losing any momentum, today begins a several-weeks journey through Paul’s second letter to the church at Corinth.
As always, he starts by greeting his brothers and sisters.
I’m sure I’ve written this before, but letter-writing—true pen to paper letter-writing—is a lost art. I’m as guilty as the next person … I rarely sit down and actually hand write a letter to friends and family.
Certainly, I text and message and email, but taking out a piece of lovely stationery and pen? Not so much. It’s kind of sad. I still have many of the handwritten notes my husband wrote when we were dating. He’d often leave one on my car or slip one in a silly card. Those notes document a part of our history together. Now he’ll text a silly comment or two, but I don’t keep those.
Yep. Kind of sad.
But I guess, even if we don’t handwrite any more, one of the most important things is keeping in touch. And even more important? Praying that our friends and family experience the grace and peace that comes only through relationship with Jesus.
And so, as we head down this path through 2 Corinthians, I pray the same for you: “Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
