I was shopping for a card the other day. It was for the general purpose of encouragement, thinking of you, etc. So I moseyed over into the massive card section at a local store. I looked for the encouragement section, and started getting flustered! Birthdays here...anniversaries there...congratulations there...thank yous over there...where was encouragement? I looked and looked, and at last, spotted two cards or so in the miniscule encouragement section, that certainly both left something to be desired.
So I kept wandering, and eventually found myself in the Christian section. Whew! Encouragement cards were everywhere, and I settled upon my choice.
What is it that's so special about being part of Christ's family? "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing." -1 Thessalonians 5:11
