This is the winter of our discontent, our division, our depression, our discouragement. It need not be.
After Paul and Silas came out of the prison, they went to Lydia’s house, where they met with the brothers and sisters and encouraged them. Then they left.
Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace and was strengthened. Living in the fear of the Lord and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it increased in numbers.
May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had,
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

For this week, this is the plan. Pitch in if you can either with a comment or submit an article. We could use some pleasant exchanges right about now.
