A Spoonfull of Encouragement


It's amazing how little things can make such a difference in your life. Like power outlets, wedding rings, and toenails (the toenails might not make much of a difference, I really have no idea what they do. But I'm sitting here and I saw my toenails so I just put them in). I was reminded of this today after lunch. Dan and I had a rousing round of lunch at Peking Tokyo (the best Chinese food this side of Santa Fe (the avenue, not the city)) and I had shared with him a few frustrations I was feeling.

Right before he got out he said, "You're doing a good job Trevor. Really, hang in there, you're doing a good job." It was just a couple sentences but it really did help me out. And part of the reason for that is that I know Dan wouldn't say it if he didn't mean it. He doesn't roll like that. I guess that old saying about a spoonfull of encouragement is true after all.

I want to be a pastor when I grow up so I can go out to eat every day. You and Dan have the best lunch almost every day of life. At least I get it on the action once a week.

I'm jealous. I want to go to Peking!
