Suzie listened.

Mark called.

Nessie played.

Allison shared.

Frogs chirruped.

Trees whispered.

Coffee invigorated.

Books inspired.

Music entranced.

Fears were faced.

Prayers offered.

Bad news delivered.

Hope resurged.

Exercise revived.

Puppy snored.

Smiles rekindled.

That was the encouragement I received yesterday.

In between were difficulties, mostly small, some looming.

Such is encouragement.

Not one giant boost, but a set of stairs to help you climb.
