A little way to spread some encouragement! You need some right? Plus giveaway!

June 28, 2011 Lana

Contest Closed.  Winner has been chosen!

Have you needed encouragement lately?P6280639

Who hasn’t?
It is easy to be critical.
The nerd in me actually looked up “critical” in the thesaurus. 
Here are just a few words synonyms of “critical”.
 belittling, condemning, cynical, demanding, demeaning, derogatory, disapproving, discriminating, disparaging,  finicky, fussy, hairsplitting, humbling, hypercritical, lowering, nagging, nit-picking, overcritical, reproachful, sarcastic, scolding, severe, sharp, and withering
Do you recognize any of those in yourself?
Unfortunately, I do.

(In me.  Not you.  Well, maybe you.  What are we talking about?)

My main theme lately:  I want to leave a conversation and think I encouraged that person!

Who doesn’t need a cheerleader in their life?
So…how have you encouraged someone lately?


Sometimes biting my tongue is better encouragement than my “sharp” or “disapproving” tone. 
I want to be able to bless others and have kindness on my tongue always. 
 
Dayspring would like to give one of my readers a $35.00 gift code to use in their online store.
(Shipping is the responsibility of winner.)
Three Easy entries:  Leave a separate comment for each entry! 

Mandatory Entry:
Tell me how you have encouraged others lately, either in word or deed?  
2nd entry:  (Please leave separate comment.)
Is there something in your home that encourages you?
3rd entry:  (Please leave separate comment.)
Go and like ilovemy5kids’ facebook page. 
Then head back over here and tell me you did!

Winner will be picked on June 30th!  Better hurry and enter! 
Leave me a way to contact you or you forfeit your prize!

I pray this blog encourages you! 

Blessings to you!  You are loved!
