Encourage with (in)Courage

I received a free 10 pack of encouragement cards from (in)Courage and Dayspring.  They are visually beautiful.  But, the most stunning thing was that they speak to the heart of so many things you would want to say to someone that you would hope to encourage or let them know that you are there for them. 

I have sent two cards. 

One to a wonderful lady at my church who has become a mentor to me.  She has grown daughters my age, but when I speak to her or serve on a committee with her, she inspires me in so many ways.  She encourages me to spend more time with Jesus and to focus on my relationship with him.  But, she also encourages me to be quiet in my manner and to think before I speak.  Boy, do I need that!

I sent another to a lady that was in two of my book groups.  I know that she doesn't feel particularly worthy of much.  But she is such a strong woman.  She is always so encouraging of others and she is so supportive.  I don't get to spend much time with her.  But, I wanted her to know how special she is to me.

Thank you for reminding me to stop and look around.  God puts wonderful people in your life and often I overlook them.  These cards helped me to stop and take time to remember.
