In this modern age of technology, many of us have grown accustomed to sending a birthday greeting to our friends and family by posting a short note on their Facebook Wall. It's quick and simple and let's others know that you're thinking of them on their special day.
But what if we were to send an actual card with a handwritten note to all those friends? What if it was over 2,500 people that we did this for every year?
I was encouraged by this story of Dan Stroup, a teacher at a small Christian school in Indianapolis, who sends a birthday card every year to each student he's ever had. As a role model for so many kids that are looking for love and admiration, Stroup's example demonstrates a simple, yet profound, way to show God's love to those students he's had over the years.

I think that the man should get a teacher of the year award.
That is inspiring. Imagine the difference we could make to people's lives by giving that kind of encouragement...
