I love getting letters in the mail. Don’t you? Usually all we get is bill statements and junk mail, but when I see one of those envelopes with some actual scrawled out handwriting with my name on it, I get excited! Oooooh! There is something special about opening up a letter or card, because receiving them isn’t a weekly or even a monthly occurrence. When they arrive in the mail at our house, they are special.
I haven’t yet, but during this shelter in place time, I would like to write out a few letters or maybe some cards for friends, family, and a few ladies I would like to encourage. I didn’t even get Christmas cards sent this past year, so I think this is something I need to do.
Several years ago I shared a list of Christian letter closings on the website. That original one isn’t available any longer, but I did revise it and added about 70 some more closings to that list, which you will be able to download today.
I remember when I was in grade school learning the parts of a letter that this was called a “complimentary close”. I’m not even sure if they teach the parts of a letter in school anymore! But anyway, a complimentary close is basically a way of saying “farewell”.
I know sometimes you may want just a little more than, “sincerely” or not so personal as “love”, to end your letters and cards, so I hope this list will help you all out, especially those of you who are trying to minister from home. Writing letters and cards is such a great way to encourage others in the Lord.

As you can see, some of these basically say the same thing, but just are worded differently or rearranged a bit. I know some people like to pick a signature line that they use all the time, but sometimes I like to pick something specific to the situation or to the person I am writing to as to make it more personal. I like choices, so that’s why I have this long list. I hope you will find it useful. Download it below.
If you don’t have any postage stamps and live in the US, you can order them online at the USPS. I always get the Forever ones, just because I don’t use stamps that often, so if postage goes up again (which we know it eventually will), then I want to still be able to use them without adding more postage.
An FYI—the USPS will have some new American Garden Forever stamps soon if there haven’t been delays because of the virus. They are supposed to be coming out sometime in May, and I think they are really pretty. Also there are stores that sell stamps online too, so writing letters and mailing them is something you can do safely from your home.
Thanks for stopping in to the blog. Leave a comment and let me know the last time you received or sent a real letter or card in the mail.
Have a lovely day,
Julia
