The Power of a Flower Letter

With the arrival of the New Year, I sent Flower Letters to my relatives and friends—those I rarely had the chance to see in person due to work. In each handwritten note, I offered warm greetings and heartfelt wishes that they might be richly blessed by God in the year ahead.


The first reply came from my cousin and his wife. We had always kept our distance, perhaps due to the age gap or the reserved nature of our relationship, speaking only when necessary. But to my surprise, my cousin called me first. “Thank you for the touching letter,” he said, his voice carrying an unexpected warmth. His wife and my friends also expressed their gratitude, and even set the letter as their profile photo on social media. The very next day, a coworker approached me, exclaiming with delight, “I was so moved by your letter!”


These were not words spoken out of formality. Everyone who received a Flower Letter expressed heartfelt gratitude. In fact, I felt as though I was the one more deeply moved by the experience. Flower Letters have a gentle way of opening the doors to our hearts. I plan to keep using them to share warmth and connection whenever I have time.
