Giving encouragement to others is a most welcome gift,
for the results of it are lifted spirits,
increased self-worth, and a hopeful future.

Good Morning !
Have you ever known someone who believed in you, someone who frequently spoke words of encouragement and praise? The kind of person who made you feel you could do it, whatever "it" was?
The book of Proverbs sums up the impact encouraging words can have when it says, "The tongue has the power of life and death" (Proverbs 18:21). There are lots of good things we can focus on.
Be a positive person. Encourage one another Don't start complaining as soon as you see your spouse, child, employee, neighbor or someone else. Ask about his or her day. Give a compliment. Share stories about your day
No matter what our personal situation is, we still have God-given gifts and talents, experience and encouragement that we can share with others.
As we begin a new week I can only encourage you as you to be aware of all the blessings around you. Don’t concentrate on the things that you don’t have or the negatives that life brings to all of us, but use your time to think of all the good in your life.
I’ve read that we are what we think and that’s what I try to do each day. Encouragement goes straight to the heart. In fact, the word itself comes from a combination of the prefix “en” which means “to put into” and the Latin word “cor” which means heart.
If an encouraging thought comes to mind, share it! We may know something with our mind, but need to be reminded in our heart.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
I believe words of encouragement have such a profound and lasting impact on people and through encouragement you could provide the key to unlock a gift in someone's life.

I really love your outfits for the week... especially those fleece. I have a fleece with a red cardinal on so wear all winter, so warm and cozy arent they. better than sweatshirts for the cold I think. I also have many sweaters for winter and some just for the holidays. Its fun isn't it. keeps us in a good mood in these sometimes dark days
