Heard about a little boy who said to his dad, Hey, Dad, let’s go play darts. I’ll go through the darts. And you say, where’d he go, son, little boy who was not afraid to ask for encouragement that he needed. Maybe we all need it from time to time. The educator and author his father, Brian, Kevin, all tells a story about the devastating effects of discouragement. Dante Gabriel Rosetta, the famous 19th century poet and artist, was once approached by an elderly man who asked him to look at a few of his sketches and drawings. The gentleman wanted to note one to know if the artist thought they were of any value. as gently as possible. Rosetta told the man that the sketches were of no value and showed little talent. He apologized for the harsh, harsh assessment, but said that he believed that he should be honest. The visiting man was disappointed. But asked the artist if he could take a look at just a few more, which were all done by a young art student. Rosati looked over the second batch of sketches and immediately became enthusiastic over the talent that they revealed. These he said oh wow, these are good. He went on to say that the young student showed much promise. It should be given every help and encouragement is he may have a great future if he studies and works hard. The old man was deeply moved and Rosati asked him who is this fine young artist? Is this your son? No set of visitor. It is I but from 40 years ago, if only I had heard your praise then For you see, I became discouraged and gave up too soon. Mother Teresa is known to have said in her own wise words, kind words can be short and easy to speak. But their echoes are truly endless. Sometimes it may be enough just to say, wonderful. Here’s your assignment for today friends, find somebody in your life and encourage them with the word Wonderful. Maybe it’s sending a notice on Facebook to a friend or a neighbor or a co worker, or a child or grandchild and say you’re wonderful. Just yesterday was my own granddaughters birthday, and I had some encouraging words for her on the phone. And I said that she was wonderful in that she was great. And her smile and her giggle was all I needed to encourage me.
