Be The Hope & Encouragement

by | Aug 19, 2014 | Encouragement, Love Others

Who matters in your life today?

Your spouse?
Your friend?
Your parents?
Your children?
Your brother or sister?
Your neighbor?
A co-worker?
Your employer?

We all have people in our lives who matter to us. We know who, but do they?

Do these special people know how much they matter? We may think they do, but really… do they?

What are some ways we can let them know?

1.   Tell them verbally.
2.   Tell them through writing.
3.   Send/give them a card.
4.   Spend time with them.
5.   Do an act of kindness for them.
6.   Make a favorite treat/dish/meal.
7.   Invite them to coffee/lunch.
8.   Put away our devices and converse with them.
9.   Surprise them with a gift that shows your appreciation.
10. Do something that would please them in a way they’d know they matter.

There are so many wonderful opportunities to show others they matter to us! I’d love to hear your ideas below!

My challenge for each of us today or tomorrow:  Do one thing that conveys to someone else how important he/she is to you, and how much their presence in your life matters!

Hope EncouragementYou may just be the hope and encouragement someone desperately needs today.

Feel free to share your ideas and any results!

And by the way, you matter to me! Thank you for being a part of my life!

Hugs,
Julie

    I really need to utilize some of the cards I bought from DaySpring. It has so been on my heart and I have a list of people I’d like to send a card to but . . .
    I hate those buts. I just need to do it.
    This was the encouragement I needed.
    Thank you!
    xoxo

      Beth, I completely understand. I needed that push too. I’m doing something about the “buts” today. Have a great Wednesday!

Are you where your feet are today? Could you use a little help in staying present?

We continue on in our Summer of Abundance series on the Encouragement for Real Life Podcast today, and in episode 206, which dropped earlier this morning, we explore the fifth element of abundant life: Purposeful Presence. You might guess it's a subject I'm passionate about. 

This episode is for you if you're tired of life passing you by and if you're ready to live more in the moment. In this snippet, I share Purposeful Presence in three categories, which is a great place to begin. Find the full 23-minute episode wherever you listen to podcasts or @julielefebure.

No matter what last week looked like… this one holds new beauty, new purpose, and new grace.

So water what matters.
Tend to your heart.
And trust that God is growing something good—even if you can’t see it yet. 🌸

Turns out…
surrendering control didn’t break anything.
(Except maybe my pride. And my planner. 😬)

But peace showed up.
Clarity followed.
And I finally had room to breathe.

Letting go isn’t losing—it’s living.

Surrender isn’t about pretending it’s easy—
It’s about trusting anyway.

You don’t have to understand it all.
Just release what was never yours to carry.
That’s where peace begins.

Listen to episode 205 of the Encouragement for Real Life Podcast for more.

You weren’t meant to do this on your own.
You weren’t created to be your own source.

So if life feels heavy today, come back to the One who holds it all together—and holds you.

Let Him carry what you can’t.

Some women believe surrendering is stifling, or restrictive, or demeaning. Nothing could be more untrue.

When we surrender our will and lives to Jesus, it's then when we find true, abundant life.

What's one area of life you can surrender into His capable hands today?

I used to think surrender was scary.
Now I know what’s really scary…
Me in charge of everything. 😂

Surrender isn’t giving up—it’s getting peace.
Getting direction.
Getting the abundant life I couldn’t create on my own.

Here’s your permission to stop carrying what you weren’t meant to hold. 🙌

Are we holding on tightly or letting go?

Abundant life is a free life- living, breathing, and trusting God has everything under control.

Comment AMEN if you agree.
