“...encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all”. 1Thess.5 ESV
Who has not felt the power of an encouraging word from a friend, especially after a fall. My grandson is learning to ride his bike without training wheels. I noticed that when he would topple over, he would turn my way with a sort of embarrassed, “I'm not sure about this” look. But when I would give him a thumb's up and tell him to look how far he had ridden, that look would turn immediately into a big boyish smile and he was ready to go again. It is said that we never forget how to ride a bicycle; I think we never forget how to fall down as well. If there is ever a time to encourage people, it is when they have dust on the back of their breeches. Be an encourager. 6/29/2011 Conversations Within ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
