Words that Make a Difference

September 24, 2012 by Debbie 1 Comment

As a new school year is now in full swing, I’m reminded of this on a Monday morning –

In the midst of crazy mornings as kids head out the door – take a moment, look them in the eye and speak a word of encouragement – more than the usual “have a great day,” or frazzled “HURRY UP! love you, bye,” but Truth that can be planted deep, remembered long – “God is always with you,” “you can do anything through Him,” “you are a friend to all,” “God is mighty in you,” “be a leader in doing what is right.”

HIS words, through us, bring power and blessing to our kids.  What only takes a moment now, may make lasting lifetime impressions in their hearts.

If I could, I’d offer you a cup of coffee and would love a chance just to sit and talk, to hear your stories about life – the joys and the struggles too.

In whatever you’re facing today, my heart is that you might find some encouragement through these pages and fresh hope in God’s words ...
