One thing that has felt so amazing since returning to work from Christmas break is my coworkers. I didn’t fully realize how much support I would feel just by walking back into the building without my scooter. So many people noticed right away. Almost every day someone stops me, claps, or cheers me on, telling me how good I am looking and how proud they are of the progress I’ve made. It honestly feels like I have my own cheering section in the halls.
Those small moments make such a difference in my workday. Healing can feel slow and lonely at times, but being surrounded by people who notice, celebrate, and speak life into the progress changes everything. I truly feel seen, and that is such a gift in any workplace.
“Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11.... I know I have shared that verse a few times but it is so so important!
I am learning that encouragement is powerful. It reminds us how far we’ve come, not just how far we still have to go. I’m incredibly thankful for coworkers who choose to notice and choose to celebrate the journey with me. THANK YOU!
Prayer
Lord, thank You for placing people in our lives who see us and speak encouragement when we need it most. Help me to be that same source of encouragement to others. Amen.
