So California is getting hammered with rain! Southwestern Colorado is expecting over three feet of snow! Even Arizona is having snow dumped on them! However, we haven’t had snow since December 23rd. When we lived in Atlanta, we went YEARS without seeing snow. However, snow here is so important to keeping the fire risk down during the summer and making sure that pasture land doesn’t shrivel and dry up! Usually this time of year is pretty consistent with its snowfall, but right now, there is NOTHING!

I was thinking about how encouraging it would be to see a storm moving in…..and I got to thinking. Just like a snowfall would be encouraging right about now……..moisture, in the form of encouragement, can go a LONG way to helping us, our friends and our family stay positive along the paths we walk each and every day.

I know that God is the source of all encouragement, but I also think he expects us to encourage one another. I know that when I am going through a dry season…..a word of encouragement from a friend is like rain in the desert….and just a few drops can go a LONG way toward keeping me moving forward and keeping my eye on the goal.

May I be a source of encouragement to those around me by my words to them, my actions towards them, and my attitude around them! May I be a source of moisture to all I come in contact with!
