Encouraging One Another

Yesterday I went to a Quad Race to watch JD Hesson race. It was fun to watch and sometimes pretty exciting when they went over the huge jumps. People were standing every where and some even out on the insides and outsides of the track.

JD had a friend there Trevor. These 2 were awesome for each other they helped each other sweep off the starting area for the other. They laughed and talked about the races with each other.

My favorite thing to watch in these 2 friends was when JD was racing. JD was in first place but Trevor said to us that JD looked like he was getting tired. Trevor said he would be back and Trevor took his broom walking out into the track area. He put himself where JD would be sure to see him.

When JD came around Trevor was waving to Jd. Telling him to keep going. Trevor stayed out there until JD finished the race to encourage him on.

IN our world I think this is a rare thing. To have someone to cheer you on. To have someone go out and put himself in harms way to help you be successful.

It seems so many people want to bring you down or criticize you just so they can look or feel better about themselves.

One of my favorite verses is Ephesians 4:29 "let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouth only that which is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."

When we lift one another up and encourage them it not only benefits the people being encouraged but those around also benefit by seeing it.

Is there someone around you who could use some encouragement?
Is there someone you could stand by and wave them on and tell them to keep going?

If you can't find someone. I am always here and I can use all I can get.

It Is All Good
