In just a few minutes, you can:

Just as A little yeast will make all the dough rise. (Galatians 5:9), a little encouragement can make a powerful difference on a difficult day.
4 TIPS FOR TEXTING THOSE WHO ARE STRUGGLING
- Keep it short. When we’re hurting, it can be difficult to process too much information, but a short message can be easily read and re-read.
- Don’t expect a response. When others are struggling, we might not have the energy to respond, but that doesn’t mean your text doesn’t mean the world to your dear one.
- Write from your heart. Just be you and share a little love.
- Don’t skip the emojis! Text lacks tone of voice, emotion, and facial expression; adding an emoji or two can convey those feelings.
