An Extra Special Strawberry

In the midst of discouragement, God gives me divine appointments with encouragement.

Like today.
Affirmation. More than once. But one tugged at my heartstrings the most.

I think... the person who said the things that really encouraged me wasn't aware of the impact of his words. He kinda muttered under his breath ~ he was actually thinking aloud (even though it wasn't that loud) and I don't think he had expected me to catch anything. But, I thank God for sharp ears... that I did hear what he said. And my heart was touched and encouraged.

Oh, and a student of mine drew me a picture too. "I put my name on it so that you'll know it was me who drew it!" she declared in glee. My heart melted.


From now onwards, whenever I see strawberries, I will make it a point to remember that God once used a GIGANTIC one to encourage me. 

One that was surrounded by the stars and sparkles Nerissa drew to make it extra special for me.
