Encouragement Today
Before I get any further lost in my day, my encouraging thought that keeps coming to me today is to not take others for granted when they do things.
How many times do you look at a lawn that is mowed and manicured, a clean house, washed laundry, supper on the table every day?
My friend, your reminder today is to not take this for granted. It does not get done without someone keeping up with it. Unfortunately, when it is maintained on a regular basis we lose track of the fact someone is behind the scenes always doing it.
We often times take it for granted until something happens to the person who always takes care of certain chores. Then we see all they do.
Today’s challenge is to be observant and look around your home. Pay attention to if something is done for you. Does your spouse mow the lawn? Does your spouse prepare your meals? Do you come home from work to a clean house?
My friend, do not take this for granted. Show your loved one your appreciation for all they do to make your house a home. It does not get done because it is wished to be done. It takes someone hard work to keep it up and maintained. Show them that you appreciate their effort to help out around your home.

I am a wife, mom, and daughter. I have served in the United States Army, gone to college, and received a Batchelor's Degree in Criminology. I married my husband when he was on active duty in the United States Army so I have the unique knowledge of what it is like to be on both sides of a Military uniform. I have been a wife for a lot longer than when I was in the Army.
While we were stationed in Germany, my daughter, who is 23 years old now was born and I chose to put my career on hold to be a mom and eventually a homeschool mom.
The past 15 years have been wrought with many struggles for various reasons, but it is as a result of those struggles that this blog has come about.
As the years passed and the struggle kept coming, I would say to God, "I'm not sure why we have to go through all of this, but if we have to God, then allow my story to serve as a means of encouragement to others so all this pain isn't for nothing."
Well, the years passed but the struggles never went away. I feel now is the time God wants me to begin sharing my story. It is my prayer as I share my heart that it will serve as a healing opportunity for you, my readers. Know you are not alone. There are hope and encouragement that waits.
