Someone cares...
Recently, I received an encouragement card from an encourager...
The statement on the back of the card read as follows,
"Life is like a well-tended garden filled with beautiful flowers of every size and color. What if those flowers represented all kinds of happy thoughts, wishes, and blessings? Imagine having the privilege of picking bouquets of your most favorite varieties, then sending those beautiful "flower" thoughts to the ones who need them most. What a fun way to spend a day encouraging others!" Someone cares Cards
The inside read," if thoughts of you were flowers, that came in bright bouquets, you'd find blossoms everywhere in beautiful displays!"
This person always finds the most wonderful cards..she has a heart to encourage...and proceeds to do it in every life she touches...she uses her Spiritual gifting so well...with blessings to those whose lives she touches...from grandchildren to strangers she meets along her path in life...
It is fun to have those encouragers in your life...you don't have to speak everyday, or even see each other often, but when you do, life is a little brighter...
Has she been without problems, life all roses with no thorns? NO, battled MS for years, went through an excruciatingly bad marriage battle, lived in a women's shelter...but through it all she encouraged others even through her own tears...
When we choose to use our gifting, we build up others...when we choose to make God our center, we choose life....
We aren't promised that everything will always be a garden of flowers without weeds...but, we can choose to be a "garden" to others ...a flower to brighten someone's way...
thank YOU for bringing encouragers across our paths...help me to be that to others...
Isaiah 58:11 The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame.You will be like a well-watered garden,like a spring whose waters never fail.
Proverbs 20:7 The righteous man who walks in integrity and lives life in accord with his godly beliefs—How blessed happy and spiritually secure are his children after him who have his example to follow. AMP
