Publisher's Description
The Blessing of Simple Gestures is a delightful walk into a world of encouragement – both our desire to receive it and also to share it with others. You can change your world, beginning in your sphere of influence, by letting these ideas open doors to enrich the relationships that you hold close. The truth is that we often neglect to show gratitude for or to nourish the relationships that God has brought into our journey through life. The sections of this book show how to incorporate a common item or thought to create an indelible, positive impression of hope or joy or appreciation. In a world where the message is so often negative, we need to hear a word of encouragement and hope. We need to know that we are not alone in this journey of life and that it is the relationship of friends and family that make each step an enjoyable one. So, for those of you who find it a bit of a challenge to know just how to say what is in your heart, let this book act as the catalyst that will launch you into the world of life-changing encouragers. You will find that your heart will also be encouraged.

“To my treasured friends. You inspire me, encourage me, challenge me, comfort me, make me laugh, and share my love of life. I can’t imagine what my world would be like without you. I’m into encouragement. I’m always the one clapping loudest when someone is running hard for the prize. You can hear me yelling, “Great job!” or, “I’m so proud of you!” There is power in the gift of encouragement, and if you will indulge me, I would like to share with you some unique ways to deliver it. I love it when someone expresses joy over a card or gift that I have given. A friend recently told me she has every card or note I have given especially to her. She says she periodically spreads them out on the table and finds renewed encouragement as she is reminded she is loved, valued, and that her life has purpose. Every gift, card, or brief note is an opportunity to share what is in my heart as I celebrate birthdays, holidays, and “just because” times with friends and family. We each have unlimited opportunities to lift spirits, celebrate the race of life, bring smiles to tired and discouraged souls, and remind people they are not invisible or forgotten, because people need to be reminded that they are remembered, loved, appreciated, and valued. It is for that same purpose that you picked up this book. You want to make a difference in someone’s life by making every gift, every card, meaningful and remembered as it encourages its recipient. So let these ideas inspire you to creativity and bring your spirit of encouragement to life. The world needs you!”
