For years I've had this book in my head. It has been a journey writing about my experiences, strength and hope. Many encouragers saw a need and put into action what they could do for someone else. People shared with me their struggles as well as how they finally got through their tough times. The following pages give you words to help others in both their good and difficult times. A simple note can be held and read over and over again. Words are powerful communication when people are hurting. Stories of how different people were surprised may inspire you to do the same. Be uplifted knowing God is always there for you and cares deeply no matter what is happening in your life. I have included Bible verses throughout this book as each one has brought me encouragement at different stages in my life. May they be a blessing and joy to you as well.
