Recent Encouragments

Recently, I have felt very encouraged by many things here are some:

1) God's generosity sparks our gratitude; our gratitude then sparks our generosity toward others; our generosity sparks God's gratitude;which sparks his generosity back on us. God is constantly overwhelming us with generosity, we then choose to notice it and be grateful. Generosity is shared and passed on. Because God was first generous. When we lack in our own gratitude, we lack on being generous; which prevents someone else from experiencing generosity and then being generous. God is the initiator and because of that be can also be initiators.

2) Michelle Duggar from 19 kids and counting shared that she chooses to use a calm, sweet voice with her children. On the outside before her comment, I assumed it was just the voice she was given. This encouraged me becasue I too can choose a calm sweet voice. I too can choose to use loving and kind words to the people in my life. Watching Michelle and see how her choices have given her a beutiful spirit and her children also beautiful spirits.

3) Gabby Gifford's story overwelms me. It is one of those stories that changes you from watching it. I forget that I go through things becasuse it is something that I was ment to over come and encourage others through. Her story is about that and a husbands love (which I am such a sucker for). This story is life and proof that we have an amazing God!
