Installment #2 of 4; taken from 1 Thessalonians, chapter 5 on 'how-twos' from verse 11 - 23 by writer, Paul, as he gives us ways to encourage ourselves and others.

Taken from a graphic, titled 'Checklist for Encouragers"; lengthy list. I am including four of them today:

"AVOID QUARRELING"
- verse 13
Search for ways to get along with others.


"WARN THE LAZY"
- verse 14
Challenge someone to join you in a project.


"COMFORT THE FRIGHTENED"
- verse 14
Encourage those who are frightened by reminding them of God's promises.


"TENDERLY CARE FOR THE WEAK"
- verse 14 
Support those who are weak by loving them and praying for them.

Father God,
As everything else you tell us to do,
we can't do it without your help.
Help me;
help us.
Amen.
