Legally Blonde 2 is on my top 5 FAVORITE movies! I love everything about Elle Woods; she is confident, smart, beautiful, and most importantly super kind! One of the things that makes her so sweet is the fact that she loves to encourage others. One way she does that is by using the Snap Cup!
*For those not familiar with Miss Woods or her movies:
The Snap Cup is for times when people aren't getting along or are arguing. (It can also be used for just making each other feel good with those "warm fuzzies") You take little pieces of paper and write something encouraging and nice about one other person. Then the note gets read aloud and ta-da it's "Snaps" for that person. It's super adorable. I've even tried talking my husband into letting me make a Snap Cup for us when we argue. He wasn't on board. Anyways, encouragement is something we should be doing on a regular basis. We are relational beings and those relationships should be being uplifted through kind words, sweet little notes, a pat on the back, etc.
How many times have you been complimented on your appearance or for doing a good job on something, and it's just made your WHOLE DAY...maybe even your WHOLE WEEK!?! I know that I stand a little taller when someone encourages me or compliments me on something.
So how about today, this week, for the rest of our lives we challenge ourselves to be more encouraging to one another. Give those "SNAPS" to your girlfriends, your co-workers, your husband, your mom, the complete stranger...Let's be the kind of women who spread kind words like wildfire.
Snaps and Have a great Friday!!!
Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
Love this post! It's so true that a little encouragement can make your whole day! I think a lot of times we think things but we never say them! Thanks for this Jill!
