Encouragement

“And peace rolled over the land…first one then another were awakened to what negativity was doing to them”.  Strife and turmoil blanketing their lives were taking a terrible toll. One by one they decided to offer a smile and extend the hand of fellowship to someone in need, to use positive words instead of criticizing, to encourage instead of discourage.

It wasn’t easy…time, disappointments and setbacks had hardened them. However, one positive exchange with another gave way to another and another until (regardless of the rebuffs) the smiles on their faces and their positive attitudes began to take root…good roots make strong plants.

“Mighty oaks from a tiny acorn grow”.

They didn’t think they could control the outcome of their times, nor change the circumstances of their neighbors…but took the first steps toward change.

While this may be a fanciful, wishful story…it is possible…I am going to plant the seed of positivity and give it a try.

Wishing you a happy Thanksgiving and a most joyous Christmas.
