Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. (1 Thess. 5:1)
I love this time of the year...the weather is beginning to be cool down some, the college football season is just underway and being an avid tennis player/fan, the US Open is being played in NYC.
I was watching a great second round men's match last night between Nadal and Istomin. To put this story in prospective, Nadal is currently the number one ranked player in the world and Istomin currently holds the thirty second spot. This match was like watching a tennis version of David and Goliath.
Nadal quickly won the first set, but Istomin played some great tennis and took the second set to a tie-breaker. The crowd of twenty thousand began to rally behind Istomin during the tie breaker and all of the support was inspiring! The crowd's cheering made me think of how a little encouragement sure goes a long way.
How many times do we offer encouraging words to a friend or co-worker or build up our spouses? Look for an opportunity to lift someone's spirits today!!
