One of my favorite excerpts from Florence Scovill Shinn
THIS IS WHAT ONE MAN CAN DO FOR ANOTHER
Jesus Christ knew the truth
of this when he said: "If two of you shall agree on earth as touching
anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father
which is in heaven." One gets too close to his own affairs and becomes
doubtful and fearful.
The friend or "healer" sees
clearly the success, health, or prosperity, and never wavers, because
he is not close to the stiuation.
It is much easier to
"demonstrate" for someone else than for one's own self, so a person
should not hesitate to ask for help, if he feels himself wavering.
.
A keen observer of life
once said :" no man can fail if some one person sees him as successful"
. Such is the power of the vision, and many a great man has owed his
success to a wife or sister, or a friend who "believed in him" and held
without wavering to the perfect pattern!

This page, when I first read it , made me understand how much we do need one another, and how much the spoken word affects our growth and existence. I pray that you all have good people in your lives and when you need positive words, remember the encouraging ones that you have heard... they can work wonders.
