Many of my favorite friends and relatives live very far away from me. They are all very precious, so staying in touch and letting them know they are loved, appreciated and valued is highly important. If you have long distant friendships you want to nurture, try using these tips to stay in touch and also please share your thoughts on how you reach out to your loved ones far away.
Send a card: I like to pick out special cards or sometimes even make a card and send them a word of encouragement through the mail.
Leave a Voice Mail: Very often, one of my friends come to mind and I she is unavailable but I go ahead and call anyways and leave her a message letting her know how precious she is to me.
Send an Email: I love to send out quick emails to people I love when I find they are on my heart and in my prayers. I like to include my signature (((HUGS))) – This is actually my personal favorite way of letting people know God has me praying for them.
Schedule Time for an Actual Call: Email back and forth until you find a time that is convienent for both of you. Just the emailing between you shows commitment to the friendship.
Always Be Trustworthy: Whatever way you choose to communicate, treat each communication with respect. Never share personal thoughts and prayer requests with others.
Share Photo’s: There are so many ways to do this – email, snail mail, video, face book, my space, etc. Pictures are a fantastic way to share our life with others.
Say I Love You: I do this as often as I can. In my opinion it can never be said enough.
