encouragement

It is amazing how much words of encouragement mean. My single women's lifegroup participated in an exercise this week. We were supposed to tell each other, "one thing I appreciate about you is..." At the end of the night, most of us were in tears with big smiles on our face. It was an incredibly bonding experience. I heard things from the girls that I didn't know. Ways I had inspired them, things I had done to influence them. Before it had got to me, my spirits were already lifted from sharing the experience with the rest of the group. It went so well, I decided to extend my encouragement beyond the group. I wrote Fiona an email. I wrote Kenyon a card. It feels good to share encouragement with others, I highly recommend you pick someone this week and tell them what you appreciate about them.
