A word of encouragement from a friend. .

Good Morning dear ones. 

I received a word of encouragement from a friend and was more than touched that she went out of her way to encourage me. 

Yesterday, was a hard day and I was missing a friend who went to be with the Lord several years ago. 

His birthday was on the 12th and I was feeling slightly melancholy, when my phone beeped and there was a message and reminder. The enemy uses my love against me sometimes and the funny thing is I let him tear down my walls, brick by brick. 

1 Thessalonians 4:17-18 (ESV)

17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.

It helped that she took the time to reinforce my walls. Sometimes we need someone to push the bricks back into place. If you feel the need to drop a word to someone, it may be because God sees that the walls need to be reinforced. Someone to push back some of the loose bricks. Drop them a note, email them or send them a PM. You may never know the results of the effort, but God will.

Love you all,

SJ
