New challenges?

"So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing."  (1 Thessalonians 5:11 NLT)

As we start into the "fall" season, a new month, new schools (already started) and - maybe - some new meetings and schedules how are you doing?  Is someone encouraging you?  Are you encouraging anyone?  Do you need encouragement? You do!  Even if you think you are doing okay you need to hear it AND it is most helpful if you hear it from someone else.

Paul is writing to the Thessalonians helping them to understand who they are as "members of the body of Christ."  Helping them to understand how they can help each other and others.  He has pointed out that none of us know when Christ will return but we do know Christ WILL return.  So what can we do until then.  We can continue to follow where God is leading but we can also encourage each other "as you are already doing."

Yes, we are all busy.  Yes, the seasons are s-l-o-w-l-y changing (it was in the 90s last week!).  One of the good things that is NOT changing is how we can encourage each other.  We can​ share God's love and encourage.  Something to think about..........
