KRISTINA

Good Morning! My name is Kristina Crabtree, Minister of Spiritual Formation at Central United Methodist Church. Let me ask you this, have you ever been discouraged or wanted encouragement? I was reading an article the other day about a mom who was witnessing another mom with three kids shopping in a store. The mom with three kids had gotten in a long line. One kid wondered off and came back with a toy. As any child does, they test the mother to see how she would react to asking for the mom to purchase the toy. The mom said no, the kid threw a fit. What happens next? The mom quietly goes to her child, walks them back to put the toy up, apologizes to those around, and proceeds to check out.

The mom watching had a choice. Either judge or give encouragement. She chose encouragement. Maybe you are the one to give someone encouragement today! Have a great day!
