There is so much more to each of my posts, so much more I could tell you, but now I want to share a real positive in my life. His name is Bob Reed, my husband who never belittled me because of my education or past; in fact he would even make excuses for me when I did make a mistake. To the readers of this blog: Please start building up the ones in your life who need encouragement. Don't criticize them, I don't care how negative they are, there is a positive in there lives that you can build on. Bob always knew who he was and didn't need to cut someone else down to feel better about himself.
Today Bob, after multiple strokes, heart attacks and a broken hip, is handicapped and bound to a wheelchair. It is my privilege to give back the love and understanding he has given me for 60 years. I try to practice Proverbs 17:22,
a cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones
I hope that my joy would be an encouragement to him.
Thank you for the words of encouragement from your life and from the Bible today! It is a great thing to remember.
