Are You with Our Team?

How do you know if someone needs encouragement? If they are breathing. ~ Encouragement Quotes ~

A couple of weeks ago we were able to go to one of our grandson Eli's baseball games. This was a special treat for us as we don't live near them.

I was really excited to watch the game. It didn't matter to me who was up to bat or out in the field I found myself yelling, "Good eye", "What a catch", "Great swing", "Wow, what a hit!" etc. etc.

As I was all into the game a lady looked over at me and asked, "Are you with our team?" I looked over at our daughter, Shannon, and asked her, "Are we with this woman's team?" Shannon grinned and shook her head, "No."

I smiled and answered the lady, "I guess not but you have to know me, I give encouragement to all of the kids."

Our Bible verse says, "Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing." 1 Thessalonians 5:11

This verse tells us we are to encourage one another and build each other up.

How do you know if someone needs encouragement? If they are breathing.
