Encouragements

Today I . . . expressed encouragements. To co-workers, to family, to myself. Nothing worth elaborating on. But, I do know how important encouragement is, especially in a family.

The Family: A Proclamation to the World reminds us that each family member is a son or daughter of God, endowed with divine destiny and purpose. Families that practice encouragement promote one another's growth and development, helping each family member reach his or her full potential. These families structure family life so that members can develop intellectually, physically, spiritually, and socially.

I am grateful for an encouraging family. We have been able to help each other grow, and by doing so, we have grown closer together. We also grow closer to our Savior as we try to emulate His example of how to treat others. Encouragement is a powerful tool that we should use more often in all of our relationships.
