Like me, you are probably getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving this week. My family is gathering in Houston at my oldest daughter’s home. Several of my children and grandchildren will be traveling from different states to fellowship and feast.

Encouragement provides the emotional fuel that enables people to hold longer, reach farther, and dig deeper than previously believed possible.
John Maxwell says that encouragement is 51% of leadership. I believe that. As a leader, your role is to give people hope, build them up, and help them believe in themselves in a greater measure than they have before. In short, to help them live a better life.
