Leon, routinely you voice enthusiastic approbation and encouragement of others here. I’ve mentioned preciously my recognition that God has blessed you with the Spiritual Gift of Encouragement, which you exercise freely as you ought. It is a sight to behold!
I note it now not to make you self-conscious. Rather, anticipating that you will carry your gift with you into heaven, I muse what a wonder you will be there, extending God’s blessings liberally as one might strew people’s path with rose-petals. Cannot wait to experience the full flowering of you....
Dan and etabeta, you’re very kind to say such things, and I thank you sincerely. (yes, a little embarrassed here...)
Not everyone needs encouragement, and sometimes it’s hard to tell who might be in need...
Also, think how often you do things for others, and they don’t even notice. It’s good if we can show appreciation.
