Never underestimate the power of an encouraging word. A Personal Banker said she wants to start a "Compliment Club" Every day we need to pay an honest compliment to each of three different persons. And Carol, we would make you the CEO because you are so GREAT at that! She gathered a crowd around her and one person said it would be dishonest to compliment someone they didn't like. Wouldn't it be insincere to praise your enemy? I said, no because the compliment is an honest statement of praise for some objective trait or merit that deserves commendation. Nobody is entirely devoid of merit or virtue.
The world is starving for appreciation. It is hungry for compliments. Somebody must start the ball rolling by speaking first and saying a nice thing to companions. "As we must account for every idle word - so we must for every idle silence." And that's my Lightbulb Moment. I felt honored. Even the Branch Manager of the Bank got involved. Thank you Lord, you know I needed that Lightbulb Moment!!! I pray you have one today!!! Yes, yes, yes!
