Encouragement Works Both Ways

For the past 16 years, I have spent countless hours at doctors appointments and hospital stays. During those times. I have had the privilege to talk with so many hurting people experiencing life changing moments. I have had the honor to pray for people who would not see another year. I have rejoiced with fellow patients who had experienced a miracle in their health journey. I have never taken one of those moments for granted. None of those precious moments have been about me. I truly believe God has placed me in those moments to hopefully encourage someone. The truth is, most of the time I have been the one that was encouraged. I was the one who walked away feeling blessed. My prayer is that we never miss the opportunity to encourage others. It could be life changing. ~OC
