In her own words, here is what a young lady had to report about her and her friends' application of Love Thoughts:

Hello! I just wanted to give you a recap on how the project you donated the love thoughts to went. Our group was planning on baking cookies and buying little half pints of milk to hand out to students on the UO campus during dead week. We wanted to just give a little touch of home to stressed and possibly homesick students. So, the Saturday before, we cooked up all the cookies, totalling 1000+! We made up 250 or so packets, with 4 cookies apiece. We then took all the love thought cards you gave, and laminated them, and cut them out. We put 1-2 cards in each cookie pack, hoping to inspire love and kindess in the hearts of the students. Well, last Thursday was the day. My team and I gathered around 1:30 on 13th and Kinkaid, with 4 crates of cookies, and 200 cartons of milk. It took us 24 minutes to hand out everything. The responses were so positive! Beforehand, we had prayed against negative responses, and you could tell the Lord really honored that request. It was so worth the time and effort to prepare, and my team agreed we'd all like to do it again next term. Some responses from the students:

"Wow! for free?? No Way!!" "This makes me so happy!" "This is so cool!" 

Mostly, the students loved it, and thought it was amazing we would do this just to be a blessing to them. When asked who we were apart of, we just told them it was just us, trying to bless them during a stressful time. We didn't want to be identified with a church or organization. So, all in all, the project went way beyond what we would have ever imagined. I wanted to thank you so much again for the cards, we believe they will be a turning point and a teaching seed to some of the lives we touched. Thank you so much again. Blessed by the Lord,
Amy

I am a counseling intern at a local mental health agency in Flagstaff. A dear friend gave me a golden bag full of your love thought cards that I held on to for a couple of years not knowing what to do with them except enjoy reading...until recently.  I have used them to initiate conversations in groups I run about forgiveness and I have used them in therapy sessions to encourage some clients to challenge their "mental prisons."  I leave them in a pretty dish next to the chair my clients sit in.  Many take one with them now after coming in for a session.  I love them and so do my clients!!  I get so many comments about them. They encourage love, forgiveness, and compassion.  I plan on buying more, and always keeping my dish full. 

 
Thank you.
