Today is Wednesday, November 28th, 2007; Karen's Korner #1198
A couple of short Bible verses, commentary, and comments, taken in part from our Sunday's Sunday School class:
"...so encourage each other, to build each other up, just as you are already doing....
honor the officers of your church who work hard among you....."
~~ I Thessalonians 5:11 & 12
Commentary in part: "Look around you. Be sensitive to others need for encouragement and offer supportive words or actions. Think of your pastor and other church leaders. How can you honor them? Express your appreciation, tell them how you have been helped by their leadership and teaching, and thank them for their ministry in your life. If you say nothing, how will they know where you stand? Remember, they need and deserve your support and love expressed in practical ways."
Our class members were assigned the task of writing a note of encouragment to someone within our church family who was not at the class that morning. Everyone was given a card and a week to do it! Maybe you can do the same!! An email note is quick, easy, and only a keyboard and click away....
As Dean Kluss, class member said, "Encouragement is the only paycheck a volunteer receives!"
