I love the encouragers in my life! They strengthen my resolve to be kind even to those difficult people who pass my desk. I work a customer service job, only my customers are often sick and scared. I do my best to offer gentle words of kindness, comfort and blessing. I speak with sincerity and look people in the eye. My prayer is that I can help each patient that comes to my desk feel at ease and cared for. This is why I love my job, I get to care for people.
Being intentional at work is so much easier than in "the real world" where relationships are on going. Words have even more power when there is the context of relationship.
In marriage we can see the affect of words uttered in anger, the tears and bitterness. Fights explode and the igniting topic is lost. Words have a way of creating space between two people. Mother Teresa says kind words echo, I would like to add that kind words heal. If you have found there is too much space in your relationships begin to speak kind words.
