It’s Not Hard To Encourage Folks

When I was a kid, there was a lady in my church. She was not an especially beautiful person. She did not have much money or hygiene; she was in a wheelchair, so it was hard for her to take care of herself. 

Every Sunday, she would come up to me and shake my hand. When my hands were cold in the winter, she would say the same thing every time she shook my hand. “You have cold hands; that must mean you have a warm heart”

I often think it's hard to encourage someone, but as the woman who had nothing proved to me, it takes nothing more than a kind word that doesn’t really make sense to encourage someone for a lifetime.

Bless You
