Make A Difference!
"But command Joshua, and encourage him and strengthen
him; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall
cause them to inherit the land which you will see."
Deuteronomy 3:28
Seventh grader Journey Bowman wanted to make a difference
in her school, so then she started POP, or Power of Positivity
program. She began putting positive and creative notes on the
lockers of other students.
“I wanted to write positive notes to make a difference
in someone’s day,” she said. “In turn, they might also
choose to make a difference in someone else’s day.”
And that’s what happened. In the last school session before
coronavirus shutdown, one young man “who was not always
very optimistic” wrote as many notes as he could, and while
another student, “who was very shy,” also expressed herself
in writing. Notes were anonymous, but the project changed
the atmosphere of the school.
Moses wasn’t able to cross the Jordan and lead Israel to
conquer the Promised Land, but he had a vital assignment.
He was to encourage and strengthen Joshua, his successor.
The support and encouragement of others helps
us cultivate our dreams. POP into someone’s
life
today with a word or note of
encouragement!
"Handle them carefully, for words have
more power than atom bombs."
