Monday afternoon I ran into a friend whom I love but don't see often enough. We visited a bit, she told me some funny stories and really encouraged me about my writing. When I got home Monday, I had a sweet gift and note from another friend. Last week, I received some very encouraging comments about my writing as well. Today I visited my mailbox at school to find another gift and note from a sweet friend.
These things always lift my spirits. Especially during the crazy times of getting school started and trying to get back on a schedule.
And it reminds me that I should encourage people more. Life gets in the way, doesn't it? What's the expression...the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. I personally have 2 note cards on my desk waiting to be written.
I think lots of encouraging thoughts but I don't take the time to write them or even tell people. Encouragement is definitely a gift. God intended us to encourage one another. I'd like to do better in this area.
What's your favorite way to be encouraged? A text, a note, a small gift? How do you like to be recognized for your hard work?
