What is the value of encouragement? How do you measure it?
I read a thought provoking post from Ngina Otiende on how to respond when your hubby is grappling with unemployment. She has 8 things to do instead of feeling envious of others, frustrated or mad at God.
The post got me thinking of when encouragement is most likely to be appreciated…
It’s when life is a challenge.
Unemployment is a challenge.
Illness is a challenge.
Change is a challenge.
Specific challenges don’t last forever. (fortunately)
Challenges, however, are unending… New ones keep on coming!
Encouragement in the rough spots
is worth more than praise in the spotlight. <Tweet This>
Absolutely true. I tweeted the quote. After all, you have to make it through the rough patches before you can enjoy the smooth ride! :O)
Thank you so much for sharing the post Lori!
