He uses you the SAME way to encourage all of us online and those around you off line. <br /><br />Keep shining for Him even in the storms of life. True encouragers are not birthed they are developed through the pressing of life against us as we then press even more deeply into the presence of GOD to receive more of HIM, and then pour all that we gain and glean in His presence out to others to help them. You are doing that!<br /><br />He gives the gifts and He uses the person to offer that gift out to others.<br /><br />Much love,<br />LisaLisaShawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01847564334928464883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-82532255406810172212011-06-05T20:35:24.039-07:002011-06-05T20:35:24.039-07:00You are so sweet for encouraging us to encourage t...You are so sweet for encouraging us to encourage those who encourage (yes, that was a mouthful!).

Maybe Dad and Mom fight, maybe the family struggles financially, maybe Dad and Mom work so hard that they have less energy to share with their little ones. I'm sure that each one of those children would much rather have a teacher that encourages them than one that can sing Itsy-Bitsy Spider with perfect pitch.<br /><br />Encouraging the next generation is a noble calling and I'll just bet you do it wonderfully, Deb.Jan Christiansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16578696706386613012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-30766675348246653502011-06-05T12:16:22.543-07:002011-06-05T12:16:22.543-07:00Debbie, Although I have just met you I can tell fr...Debbie, Although I have just met you I can tell from your blog and your posts to me that you are a sweet, caring, kind, and encouraging woman.....Encouraging others is definitely a gift from God and you bless others many times over with your gift which is evident from your list of comments.......<br /><br />So I send you big hugs and blessings to meet whatever need you might have and that God will bless you many times over for using your gift so generously.....Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977147960900342156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-59716525533027227792011-06-05T11:20:31.262-07:002011-06-05T11:20:31.262-07:00Sweet Debbie, you ARE an encouragement!

Not only do you encourage, you do it gently and truthfully and with great kindness. Thank you Debbie, for being that for me many times.
