For Encouragement

Today I’m thankful for encouragement.

Anybody else find it easy to focus on the negative stuff?

You know what I mean: 10 people talk to you and 9 offer appreciation or encouragement or understanding. But then there’s that 1 person who has a baseless complaint or a nasty criticism or an attempt at an argument.

And which one do we take with us?

Yup, me too; that 10th person, the Chronic Complainer, the Untrained But Very Experienced Critic, the EverReady Pugnacious Protester…I can easily let that one person overshadow all the others.

Encourage one another daily, says Hebrews 3:13.

Let’s find ways to do that today.
