1 Thessalonians 5:11
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

I want to do something a little different today. Every weekend here in Korea the Division Commander gives us a "Word of the Weekend" that focuses us on a certain safety feature for the weekend to keep us out of trouble. Whenever someone asks what the word of the weekend is you have to say that word so that the leadership knows that the message made it down to the Soldiers. I would like to give you all a CHAPLAIN word of the weekend...

Encouragement.

My word of the weekend comes with a challenge. I challenge you to say something positive or encouraging to everyone you talk to today. Every. Single. Person. When you start a conversation the first thing you say is something positive. Dig deep. Find it in you to see them how God sees them and let them know they have something worth wile in them. You don't have to tell the same person something every time you see them today but, once a day this weekend per person. Try it. See how people respond. See how it changes your start to situations. See how it opens your eyes to people and their worth. I CHALLENGE you! Can you do this?

Encouragement.
