ENCOURAGEMENT

I got an email yesterday from a lady named Jan.  She said she had been reading my blog and I was an encouragement to her.  An encouragement?  Me?

I have been told in the past that God has given me the gift of encouragement.  I think if God gives you a gift, He expects you to use it.  And I try to.  I really do.  But sometimes life gets to me and I don't think I'm very encouraging.

So thanks, Jan.  But it's not me, it's God working through me to be an encouragement.  And let me say that getting that email was an encouragement to me!
