What Should I Say?

 Writing a letter is easy and at the end of the day, it is the thought that counts! Children are thrilled to receive any kind of mail and the fact that you took the time the write to them already will mean so much! If you still aren’t sure what to write you could:

1. Remind your child that they are loved by Christ and by you and that they are made in the image of God! Remember, they do not have a parent to tell them these things.

2. Share about how you love to serve Christ and encourage your child that even they can serve Christ through the smallest things!

3. Tell them about an outing or a trip you took. if you went to the beach or somewhere scenic, you could even send them a picture you took, if you wish.

 4. Share about a holiday or Birthday you celebrated and ask them about what holidays they celebrate.

 5. Share simple stories! Maybe about your pet, kids, or grandkids!

 6. Share about the weather or what it’s like where you live. Ask them what it is like where they live.

 7. Ask simple questions.

 Remember to avoid topics such as material wealth, economic status, and things of that nature. So not share your personal information with your child and do not ask your child for personal information about themselves or others.

Thank you and happy writing!
