Take Courage: Encourage

With the start of a school year, students need courage to enter a new school and classroom, reach out and make friends, or tackle a challenging subject. The need for courage doesn’t stop with children and teens. 

Perhaps you are dealing with loud music from a neighbor’s home and need courage to address it. You may need courage to wake up each morning because your marriage fell apart. Perhaps we need courage to remain silent, when our mouth wants to move and give an opinion.

Life dilemmas and difficulties vary and fall across different circumstances and seasons of life. We never escape our need for courage.

Two Thoughts-Love

Good morning!

I’ve been busy writing in a few other places and want to share two of them with you.

And… although summer is winding down, I had a good laugh with a Facebook post on swimwear. I had recently been to a writers’ conference and saw a comparison analogy. We all fall into the comparison trap whether or not we are writers. We compare bank accounts, health, appearance, success, and families. So, look at this post about comparison.

These may appear to be two different thoughts, but not really. If we think about it, when rooted in God's love we can best love others. When rooted in God's love, we are confident in His love and thankful for the unique way He made us.

Look for a way to show love today.
