It doesn’t really cost a cent.
It only takes a word or two
To offer some encouragement.
If genuine and also true,
Perhaps if shared you’ll meet a need.
Sometimes it’s hard to ascertain
The impact of a word or deed.
Just keep it simple, loving, plain.
Let someone know when they’ve done well.
Lift others up with words you share.
Not only use your words to tell,
Find ways to also show you care.
I pray that what I do and say
Will lift someone in need today.
Thank you for the kind words. It’s always great to hear from friends that go all the way back to school days.
The more we know one another’s inner thoughts; the more we benefit from our
association; the more our faith in God expands; the more our hearts reach out to others;
compare it to that little pebble tossed in a pond and the ripples spreading ever outward.
Thanks John, for opening your heart; meditating early in the morning; and, as you and Lee have always done: trying to ”do right and do for others” ,
Your friend since 4th grade; paula
