“How can you tell when somebody needs encouragement? Is it because they’re downcast and they look sad or forlorn, or is it because they usually have high energy and suddenly their enegry seems off? Or perhaps you’re familiar with a difficult situation in their life, and so you know from their circumstances they could use encouragement. Well, maybe we don’t always look like we need encouragement, and yet I can tell you we all benefit from encouraging words. A wise friend once told me they who need encouragement are they who are. It was really very simple. Those who need encouragement are all of us who are here. I’ve been living this out for the last few years of my life. So when you find someone you bump into, know that you can encourage them and it’s simply because they are.” Follow Yetta on Facebook and reply to her posts with your great insights and experiences.
