COT:
Challenge you to be generous with compliments. It can change someones complete outlook on the day. There are too many things around us that are pushing us down and compliments are the glue that keep relationships strong and provide healing and strength.

Mothers Day is coming up. Tell you M shes beautiful, your kids that you love them. Give a coworker a small nod of appreciation for dedication, that their new hair style looks good on them, a complete stranger a compliment on their attire or just smile and tell them to have a great day. We don’t know what hidden hardships or pain that person is going through and your small boost can be the one thing they needed to get through the day or remember for the rest of their lives.

Closing prayers
