Send us Fan MailThe U.S. Postal Service began parcel post delivery on January 1, 1913, which allowed customers to send packages through the mail. Just a few weeks later, Jesse and Mathilda Beagle took advantage of the new service by sending a package to Jesse’s mother.The package was just shy of both the weight and size limits, and it made it to its destination a few miles away within the same day. The cost was 15 cents, and the package was insured for $50, although the goods inside were hard to put a price on. You see, the package delivered to Jesse’s mother, Louia Beagle, was no other than her grandson.In Matthew 24, Jesus reminds us that “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.” (35)It’s not a reach to say we all enjoy receiving gifts in the mail. Opening packages or letters from loved ones is often followed by moments of joy, reflection, and gratitude.God, our Creator and Eternal Father, has written us a love letter, known as the Bible. In it, God tells us about his never-ending love for us, His eternal patience, mercy and grace, and how far He was willing to go to offer us salvation and freedom. Spend time reading and re-reading it daily.Support the show
