Don’t you love receiving a handwritten letter in the mail? It’s so much more personal than an email. You see the other person’s handwriting, knowing that they took the time to write out each word, and then fold the letter, place it in an envelope, affix a stamp, and send it to your mailbox.
Well now, if you’d like to bless someone with a handwritten letter, but don’t have the time or energy to do it, there are online services that will do it for you! All you need to do is log-on to a service like “Handywrytten,” type in what you’d like to say, choose your preferred script, and their handwriting robots will write out the words for you and send the letter to your loved one. For an extra fee, some services will even mimic your
own handwriting style. Others can include a smudge or ink blot to give your letter a more authentic touch. It’s as easy as sending a text message!
As one customer says, “To me, it’s the same, whether a robot writes it or I do. What matters is that I was thinking of them.” Others think this service is a way to fake authenticity.
Yale Professor Ellen Spitz says, “It seems like a complete betrayal. Handwritten notes are special precisely because they are intimate, because a part of your body is touching the paper, creating a personal connection.”
"But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life." Titus
3:4-7
Aren't you thankful that heaven communicated with mankind through the personhood of Jesus Christ? The intimacy of this transaction cannot be underestimated.
