random acts of encouragement

When we encourage each other, we can bring the best out in each other (and in ourselves). When we say kind words, send a funny or thoughtful card, even write a quick email or send an instant message, we can make a person feel happy, hopeful and thankful. Encouraging other people is something we can do that has great power!

A hug, a pat on the back, a high five, a smile, kind words – these don’t cost us anything. They are free. Yet those things can mean more to us than lots of money when we need encouragement. Today, think of a way to obey God’s word and encourage another person – then do it! It’s fun, it’s easy, and you’ll feel great, too!
