Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.  1Thessalonians 5:11  (NAS) 

Do you remember to encourage the people in your life? People need to feel valued and appreciated. Sincere words of praise, a kind note, or a helping hand may be exactly what someone needs to keep them going.  Expressing gratitude for good work or acts of service someone has done can strengthen and encourage them. By teaching ourselves to notice what is good and positive about others and calling attention to those things, we encourage and uplift those around us, and help them to thrive.

Dear Lord,

Please show me who to encourage today. Give me eyes to see someone who is feeling unappreciated or forgotten, and show me how to lift them up. Give me a heart that loves others and remind me to affirm and encourage them. 

I love You Lord, Amen.
