Encouragement

Last night, at our Life Group, we did an "activity" where we each shared something we appreciate about every other person in our Group. There are only 6 of us in our Life Group, so it was nice to have this done in a small group atmosphere. I also have to say that it was very encouraging. I've felt very uplifted since we left last night, and it is so interesting to hear the good things that others perceive about you. For me, I heard others share qualities that I don't always consider myself to be, so to hear it from others who have gotten to know me was very refreshing. I don't know why we often feel silly saying uplifting things to each other, because it always makes you and the person you are uplifting feel good. It is definitely something I would recommend for any close knit group to do. Thanks for all the encouragement, guys!

I agree! We don't do this enough in life and it doesn't make sense. It is always a growing experience to see others' perception of you. I am glad you are feeling so encouraged - I felt the same way! :-)
