Sometimes we come across an article, song, quote, book etc… that make us stop in our tracks. If you are like me, I subscribe to a variety of blogs and have the best intentions of reading them, but don’t always get the chance. When I find a good one, I like to share it. Yesterday I not only received this in my box, but a friend also forwarded it to me to read. As a result, I felt inspired to continue to spread the message.
How many of you find a good message or have an idea that you want to share with others, but are maybe afraid of what someone else might think or day? And you ponder to yourself, should I? or shouldn’t I? Or maybe you think to yourself, who are the people I should send this to that wouldn’t really mind? Why do we do this to ourselves? It happens to all of us at some point or another. We worry about what other people think and don’t want to be judged or criticized.
If I ever had any doubt whether I was suppose to share this message, it has been squashed. There were various signs throughout the last 24 hours reminding me of the importance of this lesson. First the note from my friend, an excerpt from a book that I read yesterday and then first thing this morning, a verse in my Jesus Calling book reminding me about the evils of criticism and judgement and the power of encouragement.
The moral of the story below is to a reminder to encourage one another in our lives and not to judge. “We mom’s should pledge to encourage one another each day and never judge one another. We are all desparately trying to do this mothering thing right”

Whether you are a mom, wife, daughter, sister or friend, we can all learn something from this message. Encouraging words build up. We all know it. Any type of energy we send out into the universe comes back to us. We need to fill our lives with positive thoughts and energy. I encourage you to forward this along to any other women you know. You never know whose life you might touch.
