Thursday encouragement 9/18/25

I used to do Thursday encouragement posts weekly, but I got derailed. I need all the encouragement I can get. So, I am going to try to resurrect this practice in the hopes that I can offer you some encouragement, or if no one reads it, a place to put things that have encouraged me, or that I am thankful for, or that made me laugh. So, it's probably going to be more of a catchall post.

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Things I am thankful for today:

• hints of fall
• book club is tonight!
• Headed to TN tomorrow for my family reunion
• daily walks
• getting the laundry done early
• gorgeous weather
• no rain in the forecast for our trip
• making a dent in my unread book pile 😂
• Amazon shopping
• audio books
• our hike last weekend

Made an impact:

Made me laugh:

Some places I find encouragement:

Nature, the red leaves are my favorite

It's silly I know, but book mail!!

Again, nature, this deer was just hanging out in the middle of the afternoon!

I hope that this brings a little bit of light into this dark world, and brought you a little bit of encouragement. Now it's your turn! Share something you are thankful for, or where you find encouragement, or what has recently made you laugh, or whatever else you feel like sharing that could be an encouragement to me or others. 

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Psalm 150:6

Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you. 2 Corinthians 13:11
