Lots of Love...

This week I have received many different letters of thanks and encouragement.  They have come through email, letters and many people have come by the office.  There have been a wide range of things said to me, "The students did  great Sunday leading worship, it was fun hanging out with you before the concert, I am so glad you are at our church, and thanks for being a friend."  This week as been very up lifting to me because of people showing their love.  It means a lot when people give you encouragement or show their love by writing you a letter.  It makes me wonder if I need to encourage others more.  I want to share an email sent by our Children's director this week after my devotion in staff meeting. 

Crockett,
 
I really enjoyed your devotion today.  I wanted to thank you for a few things:
 
1.       Thanks for all of the ideas regarding the 4th and 5th graders.  
2.       I appreciated how honest you were about things that you have going on.
3.       I admired how you really brought it to the table and made us think about how we are as a Team.  
4.       More than anything, thanks for caring about me.  You are very sincere…and that is awesome!
 
I love being on staff with you! I thank God for  you and your family!

It is a small email that can make a big difference.  I am so thankful for those who go out of their way to encourage and love me.  I thank God for people who take the time out to share their heart with those they care about.  I hope I can do this more for the people I love.  

Have a great weekend...
