Things to send

Even though I have not heard from my son I continue to send him letters and include with the note the Sunday comics and if I can find it any uplifting news story. Last week I sent him an article about a fawn that had wandered into the small town emergency room. I think receiving a newspaper clippings from home that have something interesting or uplifting perhaps gives them just a moment to think about something else besides being shot at and being far away from home. We continue to pray at church for him and his troops and he is on the prayer chain supported by the prayer warriors. If there any other ideas readers have about what to send if you could share them that would be most helpful.
