My friends, fill your minds with those things that are good and that deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honorable. — Philippians 4:8 (GNT)
Someone wrote heartening messages on the sugar canisters at the local convenience store. They added sweetness to my coffee experience, highlighting the value of encouragement.
I wondered while reading these messages, how might I offer an encouraging word to someone today? As Christians, we have lifegiving words to offer - words that can make an eternal difference in someone's life.
Prayer
Lord, help us to be Your instruments of encouragement and peace. Spur us to spread messages of hope and cheer and to point others toward You.
Quote
Let your speech be brief and savory. // St. Ephraem the Syrian (c. 306-373)
Thought
Will you be spending time with others today? Ask the Lord to make your words and innermost thoughts pleasing in His sight (Ps. 19:14). Happy Thanksgiving!
