Encouragement is…inspiring each other to embrace life with enthusiasm, courage, and love.

Encouragement is… a warm shoulder in a cold world.

Encouragement is… a cup of tea and a listening ear.

Encouragement is… being loved for who I am.

Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.
--Woodrow Wilson

Real encouragement that makes a lasting difference is visionary. It is the willingness to imagine a good future, the choice to believe in a better world. It is not critical, tearing people down and nitpicking at their faults, but instead valuing their uniqueness and seeing potential that they may not be able to see for themselves. In many ways, a true encourager functions as a personal prophet, helping others discover their own potential and make it incarnate in the physical world. Real encouragement sees us as we yearn to be seen, sees others as they long to be seen, and the world as it is meant to be seen. "

Some simple ideas that make love visible and physical:
• Take time to share a nurturing meal.
• Write cards and letters.
• When you are thinking of someone, pick up the phone and call.
• Say it with flowers.
• Give little gifts that say "I'm thinking of you," even when there is no special occasion.
• Share back rubs, hugs, touching, cuddling.
• Smile.

I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.
Albert Schweitzer

Encouragement is… seeing the unique beauty in another person.

Encouragement is… saying "I love you."

Encouragement is… a card sent for no special occasion, just because.
