The encourager

You are the lift that keeps me airborne.

When I feel like I'm on a deserted island, you speak life over my lonely heart.

When I feel like I'm disposable, you tell me I'm far from it. That there's no-one like me.

When I get discouraged, you breathe life into my hopes and dreams again. There's nothing I can tell you that you don't already know.

You know me. Better than I know myself. You're " The Organizer" .The one who looked through the hidden files in the back of my mind. How did you even find them in there ?!?!

You know pretty much everything about me, and you support me in a very non-judgmental way. You correct me when I'm wrong by thoroughly and quietly explaining where I was wrong.

You impart knowledge and wisdom wherever and whenever it's needed with an always unexpected humility. Your heart is evident in everything you do.

You will do whatever it takes to move mountains for your friends. And everyone else, for that matter. Your employees become your family. You loan out your resources to Angel Network to get people in need where they need to go.

You're a kind of generous that is rarely seen. You give without question, without judgment and the saying " the only love we keep is the love we give away" is written all over you. Maybe even written by you...

When I doubt my self, you encourage me and give me confidence. You are always there to pick me up when I crumple into a teary puddle, and then you tell me how wonderful I am.

You listen quietly to my silly plans because you know me- I'll never do it- and say " uh huh" as if you're actually listening to my babbling lips. I can pretty much tell when you're rolling your eyes now...

I trust you with my life. You know what's going on between the lines that no- one else knows, and you know what keeps me up at night and what my hearts longs for. You know my flaws and you still love me, and you're teaching me that I need to love myself too.

I thank God every day that He sent you to us, and for your unconditionality in all things. For your deep deep heart, your unending compassion, your tireless help and your amazing friendship.

You are the lift that keeps me airborne, friend.

May everyone be gifted that authentic friend who is there unconditionally, who cheers you on and supports your quest for your happy ever after, who genuinely wants the best for you and keeps you lifted up so that you can reach the top shelf.
