“May these gifts be yours at Christmas: Peace. Love. Joy.”
During this season when we all feel rushed, it’s easy to forget the blessing of words. Sometimes we inadvertently deny others needed encouragement all because we’re preoccupied.
It needn’t be that way.
A blessing can be either verbal or written. See who the Lord brings across your path to encourage. No need to be wordy or smarmy - only genuine. On a Christmas card, we could share what someone’s friendship has meant to us this year, or include a memory we’ve made together. For some, a timely scripture will minister to the spirit. In person, there are a hundred different ways to encourage someone… if only we consider the needs of others this Christmas.
Speaking and writing heartfelt words takes an extra minute or two. But the message of love and caring lives on in the soul of the one being blessed.
Spread the love. ♥

I have been so encouraged by all of your posts that I have read since I found your blogsite. It seems to me that you’ve weathered some rough storms and some raging waters and yet you have come through stronger then when you went it. Your posts encourage me that God is truly much more able then anything I could think or imagine and He is so that others will come to know of His amazing love.
Thank you for your diligence in writing for Him.

This post has encouraged me to be more of an encouragement to others. To take the time to either speak a kind word or jot down a note to someone the Lord has laid on my heart.
Thank you.
