Encourage One Another

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. 1 Thessalonians 5:11

You are looking good today.  From my point of view, you have some things on your mind and plans for the future.  I hope they happen.

That thing you did last week was exactly the correct move.

A kind and encouraging word makes your whole day.

In today's world, which is less civil all the time and social media is anything but social... encouragement is in short supply.

We need a boost from time to time.

That person in front of you at the grocery store who seems to be taking forever... maybe they just got some bad news.  Instead of criticism and a passive-aggressive attitude, offer a smile and friendly greeting.

That car that cut you off; try a nice wave with all five fingers instead of a snarl and nasty word.

For friends and family members having a bad day, give time and a listening ear.  You can encourage and barely make a sound.  It is the present of presence.  Do it.  Encourage.
