A couple of weeks ago, we were able to go to one of our 8-year-old grandson Eli's baseball games. This was a special treat for us as we don't live near them.
I was really excited to watch the game. It didn't matter to me who was up to bat or out in the field. I found myself yelling, "Good eye," "What a catch," "Great swing," "Wow, what a hit!" etc., etc.
As I was all into the game, a lady looked over at me and asked, "Are you with our team?" I looked over at our daughter, Shannon, and asked her, "Are we with this woman's team?" Shannon grinned and shook her head, "No."
I smiled and answered the lady, "I guess not, but you have to know me; I give encouragement to all of the kids."
Our Bible verse says, "Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing." 1 Thessalonians 5:11
This verse tells us we are to encourage one another and build each other up.
How do you know if someone needs encouragement? If they are breathing.
