Encouragement!

Define encouragement- means to give courage and
strength to another person! It is amazing how positive
words or a smile can be such a encouragement to
someone. That person could be having a bad day or
problems you don't even know about, and just a simple
guesture makes all the difference!

I have been practicing this myself, I have even made
myself a note (where only I know it is) to remind
myself, to say something positive or compliment my
husband everyday. It is not always easy, we might
not feel like doing these things. We might see all the
wrong going on and want to jump to saying negative
words, or having THE LOOK on our faces. When I feel
the negativity I look to the ultimate encourager GOD!!

Sometimes we might feel as if we are the only one doing
this and we might be, but continue to saying and doing
positive things "words", and watch! It is amazing how
the spirit of encouragement is CONTAGIOUS!!!

Something I am going to try this year, I can't do Valentines
Day, but will try on our anniversary. About 2 weeks before
I am going to send fun and romantic cards to his office
(marked "personal"). In hope for encouraging him and letting
him know he is my hero and my main attraction!
~Till next time~
