A couple of weeks ago I was at the
church on a Thursday evening and was waiting for a meeting to start
and saw a Darts driver doing her job most efficiently. She had
wheeled the client into the fellowship hall and was getting back to
the van.
As she walked by me, I told her “Thank
you for the work that you are doing. I want you to know that it is
appreciated.”
She responded, “Thanks, you need to
know that that means an awful lot to me right now.”

The
next day I was trudging down the city streets on my walk.
As
I was walking down Acadia a woman, who had just left the house down
the street, pulled her car over with her window down and said, “Keep
going, you're doing great” and gave me a thumbs up.
As
I came up to the house that she had just left another woman was still
out on her porch from waving good bye to the woman in the car.
As
I passed the house I indicated to the woman standing in front of her
house that the other woman had really encouraged me and I appreciated
it.
She
then said some encouraging words and added, “I am a walker too.”
I
replied that I wasn't a walker and this was hard for me.
She
said, “Well, keep at it because you look terrific.”
The
next morning I woke up a walker
and
really grateful to that woman.

Casual words said to people we don't
really know.
Encouraging words.
If only we heard them and spoke them
more often.
