Encouragement

I found great encouragement recently through 2 episodes of Extreme Makeover Home Edition & thought it was worthy to share on the blog.

If you want some great encouragement for loving your spouse unconditionally, you should watch the episode about the Giunta family. To watch it, go to YouTube and search for "Extreme Makeover Home Edition Giunta Family".

If you want some great encouragement in parenting and loving your kids well, you should watch the episode about the Marrero Family. To watch it, go to YouTube and search for "Extreme Makeover Home Edition Marrero Family".

Okay, so I realize that some people might think this is completely hokey that I'm offering encouragement through 2 tv shows. That's okay. Both of these are full tv shows (minus commercials), so they take about 45min to watch. They're both in 5 parts, so when the first part finishes you just click on the next part to continue. I think they are worth it.


Here's some encouragement/commands from I Thessalonians 5:
Be at peace among yourselves. And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

These episdoes seem like a practical way that a whole community is doing what is written in 1 Thess. They are encouraging, helping, and seeking to do a lot of good. You also see rejoicing, sometimes praying and giving thanks in these episodes.
