If your gift is to encourage others, be

encouraging. Many a man and woman who quit would

have kept going if they had just received a word

of encouragement from someone. Encouragement is so

vital that is ranked up there with gifts like

teaching and leadership. Here are two stories that

illustrate the power of encouragement.

Story one: Not long ago the world watched as three

gray whales, icebound off Point Barrow, Alaska,

floated battered and bloody, gasping for breath at

a hole in the ice. The whales’ only hope was to

be somehow transported five miles past the ice

pack to the open sea. Rescuers began cutting a

string of breathing holes about twenty yards apart

in the six-inch-thick ice. For eight days they

painstakingly coaxed the whales from one hole to

the next, mile after mile. Along the way one of

the trio vanished and was presumed dead. But

finally, with the help of Russian icebreakers, the

other two whales, Putu and Siku, swam to freedom.

Story two: Jackie Robinson was the first black

player in the U.S. to play major league baseball.

While breaking baseball’s color barrier, he

faced jeering crowds in every stadium. Playing one

day in his home stadium in Brooklyn, he made an

error and his own fans began to boo him. As he

stood, humiliated, at second base, “Pee Wee”

Reese came over and stood next to him. He put his

arm around Robinson and they faced the crowd

together. The fans grew quiet; the game continued.

Robinson later said that arm around his shoulder

saved his career!

Encouragement—it’s a powerful thing.
