Encouragement In A Confetti Gun

I saw a quote on a board at school last week that said, "Throw around kindness as you would confetti."  I love that idea.  The past couple weeks I have felt lead (I do believe I was hearing God correctly these times) to stop what I was doing (homework, driving, and other daily tasks) and text/message encouragements to people.  Some people were very specific, others where not.   Some things that I sent were prayers and some were just compliments or words of encouragement.   Encouragement goes a long way.   What we say impacts more than we will ever find out.   That is why the Bible so clearly states to watch what we say (Prov. 10:19, Prov. 12:18, Prov. 13:3, Prov. 15:1, Prov. 15:2, Prov. 15:4, Prov. 16:24, Prov. 18:20, Prov.18:21, Prov. 19:14, Prov. 21:23,  Prov. 25:11, Prov. 29:20, Eph. 4:29, Matt. 12:26, Matt. 12:34, Matt. 12:37,  Matt. 15:18, Luke. 6:45, James 1:26, James 3:1-12, Col. 3:8, Col. 4:6, John 7:38, And so many others) and to encourage others (1 Thes. 5:11, Eph. 4:29, Heb. 10:24-25, and others too - just look at the many numerous areas God, the prophets, the disciples and apostles, and many others encouraged one another).
