When someone thanks you for something small, resist the urge to say, “It was nothing.” It mattered enough for them to tell you. Let their gratitude teach you what to keep doing.
228
Before you repeat an opinion you've held for years, ask whether you still believe it or have just gotten good at defending it. You are allowed to learn something that changes your answer.

When someone does a job well, be careful how quickly you hand them another one. Ask what they can carry. Being dependable shouldn't mean everyone stops checking.
293
You don't have to call every hard thing good to believe God is good. Some prayers begin with, “This still hurts.” You can stay there longer than a sentence.

Notice the person standing at the edge of a conversation. Make an introduction. Explain the inside joke. Leave room beside you. Belonging often begins with someone making room in an ordinary moment.

When someone finally asks for help, try not to begin with “Why didn't you tell me sooner?” They are telling you now. Let that be a good place to start.
307
You can thank God for the people who carried you and still feel awkward when you need carrying again. Let them help. You don't have to become easy to love before accepting love.
245
Before you make the joke, notice who has to laugh to keep the room comfortable. Being able to take it doesn't mean they should have to.

When you change the plan, remember who spent yesterday working on the old one. Explain what changed. Acknowledge the effort. Your new direction still costs someone time.

When someone says, “I’ll pray for you,” and checks in a week later, you remember. Be the person who remembers a week later.

Before you agree to one more thing, remember who is counting on the promises you've already made. Sometimes faithfulness sounds like, “I can't take that on.”
149
When someone you love keeps talking about the same hard thing, remember: You may be tired of hearing about it. They may be tired of waking up to it. Make room to listen again.

You asked God to help you be generous. Today, you may have a chance to help someone who will never know it was you. Let that be enough to go ahead.
191
When the new person asks how something works, remember how much you once had to learn. Give them an answer they won't have to recover from before asking another question.
193
Someone can forgive you and still need time before they trust you again. Let your consistency do the work your apology began.
341
Before you call someone hard to reach, notice how often you reach out only when you need something. Send the message that asks for nothing.
195
You may have prayed for the right words. Then someone sat beside you and said very little, and you felt less alone. Remember that when you don't know what to say.
151
When someone on your team brings you bad news, pay attention to your first response. That moment may decide how long it takes them to tell you next time.
