Encouragement is much like a stone skipped across the placid waters of a pond, broadcasting ripples from each point of impact. Even after the stone has gently settled into deeper waters the ripples continue to broaden across the glassy veneer, stirring more and more water than what actually came into contact with the stone. That is a picture of how one small act of encouragement can ripple far beyond the original point of contact. Unfortunately, discouragement can have the...
