We have entered the last month of the year 2023 and it is always in my heart to be Grateful. My present occupation affords me the privilege of working with students, which brings me much joy and presents numerous opportunities for needed encouragement. Though the year 2023 has presented its challenges for me, I remain focused on my purpose in life which is to encourage others. My Pastor recently reminded us that the “Golden Rule” is still relevant: Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you. I don’t know about you but I can use all the encouragement I can get so, I continuously encourage all that the Good Lord places in my path through words, smiles, hugs, texts, calls, etc. So let’s make “Encouragement” contagious.
