'Encouragement' Poem by Linda Winchell

Remembering a great time in my life
When life… was full of many joys back then.
Thinking about that time…reminiscing
And I rejoice in it all again.

Then there were those times…that things didn’t go so well
Who of us hasn’t needed help from a friend?
We all have times like this…
And I’m sure…. we’ll have then over and over again.

But God the Creator… created us to be together in community
Where there are some who need encouragement.
Maybe from someone… just like me.

Sharing God’s word of encouragement with someone
Will benefit you… as well.
It will go a long way… keeping your heart from turning away from God
And ending up…headed towards Hell.

Words of encouragement
Will travel further… than we will ever know.
So take some time if needed
And let… your encouragement flow.
