Considering Cards (and envelopes) - 5. The Postman's Challenge (Part 2)

One of our elderly relatives sent us a Christmas Card in this envelope:

 

We thought it was more than a little surprising that this got to us. Well done Royal Mail!  Just as well I'm not at some of our nearby churches - like Grace Church or St James or St Andrews!

The formula we end prayers with is also very simple - in Jesus' name.  God has made a way to him that is as simple as can be.

Considering Cards - 2. The Postman's Challenge

Sometimes cards arrive late.  Sometimes cards one might have expected don't arrive at all.  There are perhaps many reasons for this.  However, should the sender live in the town depicted on this card the cause of the delay or non-delivery is obvious enough.

 

 

It's a brave card sender who risks that tiny gap between post-box and river.  And it must be slippery too in the snow.  Maybe they never made it?  Think of the postman/woman though - perched on the ice by the river's edge to empty the thing.

 

Any community that can fund such bright lights in the top of the church tower should invest in a little health and safety for the postman I reckon.
