It’s funny how little things encourage me. A sudden, sneaky
joke from my husband, that just makes me laugh over our dinner table. When all
seems so somber and serious and quite frankly, a little dull, in came my
husband with a statement that just made me laugh and laugh.
Or how about when I go upstairs to get my daughter from her
crib. The way she looks at me as I walk through the door, with a kind of
gleeful anticipation, and how she will be silly or serious, depending on her
mood, and hand me her blanky, because you know mom, I can’t go anywhere without
this.
Or how a simple thank you from your boss, because he knows
he’s been so busy the last several weeks, and how I may have allowed some
insecurity to creep in and wonder, are we okay? Which I did ask him, and he
said yes, and then he said, he must be busier than he should be … and so today,
a deliberate thank you from him to me.
Or a verse and how it will sing gloriously off the pages of
Scripture when you are waking up with your tea and your daughter is faithfully
watching the morning cartoons, with the sound off, as mommy needs to “hear” her
Savior … and how that verse just lifts off the page into your mind and down
into your heart.
Those things, and more, are great examples of encouragement
in my life.
