Trish comforted a lady recently that was going through a difficult patch. I certainly won't tell her woes but suffice it to say that the wears and tears of life had her down. Trish listened and comforted and encouraged this lady. We all need that from time to time.
Blake is one who encourages. I have seen him many times watch Olivia do something and say, "Good Job Livie! Good Job!" Who knows what that does to a three-year-old? I would dare say that our encouragement of others does far more than we will ever know. So, why don't I do more of it?
Today's word is the first part of Hebrews 3:13, NIV, which reads, "But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called 'Today'..."
We need to make a conscious effort to encourage one another. The impact that an encouraging word could make on a life will forever remain unknown if it is never spoken. Look, I'm a guy with a CAPITAL G. Sometimes, we find it hard to offer encouragement because it may make us look or sound mushy or foolish or whatever, but, we should try to encourage one another.
And, we should do it today. We should encourage when it comes to mind, when it is on our heart, when it is fresh. If we wait until tomorrow, it won't mean as much. Let's try to encourage those that we see that need encouragement. Let's do it TODAY. We may never know the impact and influence those words may have!
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
