Sometimes there are times in life that you hit the metaphorical wall or you're about to step out and do what you've always dreamed of pursuing. Or maybe a global pandemic comes out of nowhere and starts threatening your sense of certainty or future plans. Whatever it is, it's times like this that we could all use a little encouragement. Whether it's a helpful or wise word, like one of the verses from our 25 Bible Verses About Encouraging Others, a hot meal delivered to your doorstep from a neighbor, a text or note from a close friend, your parents watching the kids and giving you a date night, or a literal helping hand when you've got a big cross-country move. Encouragement can show up in so many ways and it can often be even more uplifting to give it to others than to receive it. So give it a try! Make a list of the folks in your life that you maybe haven't been in touch with in a while and send them a message on Facebook or better yet, go old fashioned and send them good (old fashioned) snail mail. Look around your neighborhood and see if there are any elderly neighbors who may need a grocery run or some lawn maintenance done. There are opportunities to encourage around every corner. And the best part, even if you're introverted and don't know what to say, all you need to say is, "Keep going, we're going to get through this together."
