you don't know how much you mean

i received a card today.
there was no money inside
only a handwritten note
and inside,
two cards
scripture on one side,
a prayer on the other.

you don't know how much that meant to me.
you can't know that i rejoiced upon getting it
that i have it in my purse
and that i will take it to school with me tomorrow
and hang it up
with all the other cards you've sent me.

you brighten my life with your kindnesses.
you hear God's still small voice so clearly,
and you follow it to the letter.

i love that about you.
