I have agreed to participate in the 10-Day 5-Min writing challenge. This challenge is sponsored by Kate Motaung and all the info you need to join in can be found HERE! She gives a topic for each day and you spend 5 minutes writing about whatever comes to mind on that subject.
SEND
A few days ago I pulled out the love letters that my mother kept from my dad during their short courtship back in 1943. I have most of the letters Dick and I sent back and forth during our short courtship as well.
When I think of the word SEND, letters is what comes to mind. That is a rather strange thing for me, because I can't begin to tell you the last paper letter I wrote and sent anywhere.
Today, I am most likely to SEND a text or an email. My sisters and I send texts to each other on a daily basis. If I think of something that needs to be picked up from the grocery store, I will send a text to Dick as a reminder. Yes, he does the majority of the shopping. I send texts to my children and grandchildren as a way of staying in touch with them.
Every Monday morning I SEND an email to our Sunday School Class as a reminder of prayer requests and upcoming activities.
My daughter-in-law frequently SENDS Snapchat messages and pictures of the sweet pooch who rules their household. I love seeing these and it is Michelle's way of keeping us in touch.
Two of our granddaughters daily post Instagram messages and pictures. I so look forward to seeing these bits and pieces of their lives.
Another use of the word SEND was in a song from years ago "You SEND Me!" In other words, you do things to me that I like.
On the other hand, SEND could be used in the opposite use, such as to SEND someone away. We may SEND someone out of our life because they aren't a positive influence. Or we could SEND them on a mission for us.
Then there is the dreaded or looked forward to - depending on your frame of mind - SENDing children off to kindergarten for the first time, or SENDing kids off to college. Regardless, it is a SENDing out from our protection and from under our wings.
Amazon is more than happy to SEND goodies to our doorstep on a regular basis. I must admit I enjoy their willingness to SEND so promptly.
What about SENDing messages that aren't quite so obvious. We SEND messages every day whether intentional or not. I did a post on First Impressions a while back and the messages we SEND in only a few seconds that could determine what they think of us.
Perhaps one of the most familiar verses in scripture is from Isaiah 6:8 "I heard the voice of the Lord say, 'Whom will I SEND? Who will go on our behalf?'" The Lord still SENDs His people into the world to share the Good News.
