Being an encourager......

I was listening to 90.9 the other day and heard a very important thought so I decided to share.  THe guy simply said if your family and friends had a encourage meter what would it read?  I thought for a little while and then a little while longer, and said well that is something to think about.  IF you were waiting on someone to encourage you now days you might have a low number on your reader.  It is important that in out busy schedule we rareley take the time to say nice things, but how funny it is that we often take the time to say something negative or to cut someone else down.  I thought to myself for a while on how to encourage someone thats pretty easy you can encourage your own kids with simple a clap of praise for walking or pat on the back for a job well done.  It is so easy to think of nice things we should try more often to do so.  If we filled our days with prayer, bible reading, and encouraging think just how the world would be if we started off on a encouraging note.  I do encourage you to do so this week if you read this to make it a point to make someones day.
