Today's Dose of Smile-Therapy

Meyers started her chapter with 3 powerful quotes on encouraging others, then followed it up with this: What a tremendous blessing it is, to cheer up others.
 
We can bless people with the words of our mouth. We can speak life to them. The power of life and death is in the tongue. We can choose to speak life.

When we edify( strengthen and build up) and exhort( encourage) others, we are urging people FORWARD. Think of that power, within our mouths--we have the ability to hold people back OR we can urge them forward.
 
There are people everywhere, everyday…hurting, beat up, and ready to throw in the towel.
Many of these people can be helped greatly- by a simple word of encouragement, some support, and/or someone speaking life and confidence back into them.
 
That IS powerful, and thus at the risk of duplication, we’ll repeat what Meyers stated initially:  What a  tremendous blessing and gift it can be—to cheer others up.
More of that, please!
