Encourage, Don't Criticize..

Therefore encourage one another and edify one another..        1 Thessalonians 5:11

We can improve our relationships with others by leaps and bounds if we become encouragers instead of critics.. It is the greater person who does the right thing; Christ's righteousness dwells in you to help you do what is right.. You are great in God's eyes when you choose to do right and bless others..

No matter how rough your day is today, speak words that uplift and encourage those around you.. Encourage otehrs if you notice them doing a good job----- not just at work with you, but people wherever you go, such as store clerks, auto mechanics, and waiters.. Say something like, "I appreciate the extra effort you are making to do your job well.." You can change your life and someone else's by choosing to speak positive words..

Please pray for our family.. Brant's grandfather passed away after being sick for a very long time early this morning at Baptist hopital around 3.. I went to see him yesterday and he was having a hard time breathing.. He was able to look at me and I told him that I would pray over him and that everyone loved him..

Psalm 23

The LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
