I'm not sure if you all know how much of an encouragement this thread is to people! I have gotten countless PMs and IMs (and some phone calls) that this thread has really been encouraging them. Some have shared how they thought nobody cared, or how down and out they were, and to see this come up was like their ray of sunshine! Even if they weren't being encouraged personally, they were overjoyed to see us encouraging each other. I woke up yesterday morning and I kept going to scriptures about encouraging and I just noticed how much in the body of Christ we fail to do so. Friendships are coming back together; broken hearts are being mended; Sorrow is turning into joy! YOU JUST DON'T KNOW.....
