Encourage Your Family!

    Part of your role as a family member is to be a fan of those with whom you live. God created you to be a cheerleader for your spouse and children. 
     E-N-C-O-U-R-A-G-E-M-E-N-T is perhaps the best cheer you can learn! 
E is for enthusiasm and energy in supporting causes important to your family members. 
N is saying, “Next time, you’ll succeed” 
C is for compassion. 
O is for open lines of communication. 
U is for understanding. 
R is for rooting on the team. 
A is for arranging your schedule to make time for others in your family. 
G is for going the second mile. 
E is for entertaining your children’s friends. 
M is for modeling a positive attitude. 
E is for empowering your child with God’s Word. 
N is for never giving up. 
T is for time out for hugs and praise. 
     “E-N-C-O-U-R-A-G-E” your family today and let them know you “M-E-N-T” it!
