Thought of the day: Be the one to encourage

One day, a lady came walking toward me with her rollator. She was crying and so I asked her, what was wrong? She said that she was tired of being in pain and difficulty with walking as she had a foot drop. So I offered her a box of kleenex. Then I shared to her that when I went to church to attend the mass, the song during communion was a very nice one. It was uplifting to the spirit. I told her to use you tube and listen to the song.  In your daily activities you never know who you encounter. Learn to listen to people such as your friends or family that need your listening heart. By listening alone you have given them help. You can be encouraging them to think more positive in every circumstances that life brings and be more thankful rather than focusing of the problem. When we keep our center in the Lord, we can overcome the impossible as God makes it possible.

Always keep in mind to be the first to give the encouraging words.
