Our encouragement today comes from the three little

words, It's a choice. When you stop, pause, and consider that we

all have a huge variety of choices to make, why not make good, positive,

upbeat, encouraging choices. Listen to my rationale.

Our encouragement today comes from my lunch diet.

It was inspired years ago by a friendly dietician, but then was

recently modified. You won't believe where the conversation about

my diet took me! Listen, laugh, and be inspired.

Our encouragement today comes from being watched.

I know that sounds strange, but you know that there are eyes

and cameras EVERYWHERE! This reminded me that our loving heavenly

Father is watching over us ALL THE TIME! Be at peace in God's gaze!

Our encouragement today comes from the reality

that personal presence is preferred over social media or other

virtual ways of connecting. You'll be amazed at what I discovered.

Listen, be encouraged, and then go and be an encourager with your presence!

Our encouragement today comes from just three

little things I notices on a Sunday. These three little things

reminded me to pay attention to other little things around me

and notice more of God's rich blessings. May you be encouraged too!

Our encouragement today comes from two scriptures

from Exodus. Both show some wonderful ways of working together

for a larger, positive outcome. Listen, be encourahged, and then

thank your existing teammates or build your own supportive team.

Our encouragement today comes from waiting patiently

and sometimes impatiently on my cruise ship veranda for God's

inspiration. Sometimes you have to let go of your desire to move

forward until God guides and directs and inspires.

Our encouragement today comes from an old book I

read titled, Do It Now and from using my gift of encouragement

while on a 'do it now' errand.

I hope that you can be doubly encouraged too.

Our encouragement today comes from thinking about

the end times and how it relates to "TBD." It's a crazy intersection

of ideas, but if you know me by now, you aren't surprised.

Listen to my short episode and then be encouraged by what is TBD.

Our encouragement today comes from being called out

by my four-year-old grandson, Jacob. It proves to me that the

little ones notice EVERYTHING and sometimes speak up for what's right.

Listen to my story and be encouraged.
