You might have a vague idea that being an encouraging person is nice or maybe you feel like it’s more for people with especially sunny personalities, but let’s dive a little deeper into what it means and what importance it holds. Let’s start with what the Bible says about encouraging others.
Summer is upon us! As adults, summer sometimes feels like just another season with no change in our routines- none of the excitement and possibility of the summers as a kid. Even though you might still have all of your grown-up responsibilities, why not add some interesting/festive activities into your weeks to make the season a little more fun and enjoyable! If you’d like to have a more kid-centric bucket list, check out Summer Bucket List (with kids).
It’s that time of year again! It’s almost summer and some of you will be with your (or someone else’s) kids all… day… long! We’ve compiled a summer bucket list to help beat boredom and make this a season of fun, learning, and memory making! And if you don’t have children in your life, never fear! The next blog will be a grown-up summer bucket list!
“I was just talking to my friend, Larry, about what it’s like when your parents sojourn to glory. My mom sojourned when she was way too young back in 2005, and then my dad passed away this past May, and I had the honor and privilege of being right there with both of them when they passed to glory. I just encourage you, when you’re with someone in their final hours, to just speak life over them, sing to them, stroke them…just help usher them from this world to the next glorious world, beautifully.” ~Lauren Kitchens
Do you ever feel like there are so many things going on in the world, you’re left frozen in fear about what to do? The best place to start is prayer.

Here are a few suggested current events to start praying for, but add to this list anything the Lord lays on your heart.
