You are right, homeschooling is SUCH a responsibility! It can be very overwhelming. Not only do you have the duties of a wife, mother, and homemaker, you add duties as a teacher. I want to encourage you that you are not alone. I am planning in the future to focus a little more on homeschooling, but right now, I am really focused on helping women to assess where they are in their personal walk with God. I feel this is so important because if your personal walk is lacking, it's very difficult to excel in the other areas of your life. Again, thanks for the kind words. Jennifer,

I love your blogs. Sorry I do not always comment. I have been trying to get my curriculum going and try to go through everything so quickly, that I sometimes forget to comment. I guess I forget how important it is when you receive something (like the useful and inspirational info in your blogs) to give something back (like a comment). I want you to know that I need you. Your blogs, along with some others, literally get me through my day. Some people do not realize how hard it is to be a stay at home mom and add taking your children's education into your hands, it can be a bit overwhelming sometimes. Your blogs make me realize I am not alone and like this particular one, help me to take the focus off of myself and look around at what I can do for someone else. Thank you Tamera, JEN Hi Tamera,

It is highly likely that when you give someone a compliment, it will be the ONLY compliment they receive that day...perhaps that week! It's such a little thing that we can do that could literally make someone's day. Elaine,

You brought up such a good point. It is highly likely that when you give someone a compliment, it will be the ONLY compliment they receive that day…perhaps that week! It’s such a little thing that we can do that could literally make someone’s day.

What a great idea. You have so many great ideas and I have loved reading about the 30 second rule, the temperaments, and about encouraging others. I heard a pastor/speaker say most people are so underaffirmed! So, don't worry about giving that complete stranger a compliment! 9 times out of 10 you might be the ONLY person that day to say or do something nice without expecting anything in return. It is good for us to do things for others because it makes THEM feel good. And Tamera, you always make me feel good by sharing the insights into life as you know it. I count it a great privilege to be your friend and to see what God is doing in and through you ! your grateful friend, Elaine Hey Tamera,

As you said, you don't want to sound insincere. Also, it is harder for some people than others. Some people are naturally good at finding ways to compliment others; some people are not. This has to do with temperament other factors. I have found that the best way to get better at something is to practice. Start by just stepping out and paying a compliment when something strikes you. For example, if you see someone who has a beautiful dress on, tell her...even if she's a stranger at the grocery store. If someone sings a special at church that blesses you, make the effort to seek her out after the service and tell her. If you see a young mother who is herding a couple of little children and you notice that she is remaining patient, make a comment to her and encourage her. The more you practice, the more comfortable you will become at paying spontaneous compliments. Eventually, it will become a part of who you are. Also, you bring up another good point. One way to learn The Thirty Second Rule is to teach it to your children. Practice what to say with them. You'll be passing something powerful on to the next generation. Hope that helps. Phyllis,

I want to sound sincere but often I hesitate because I'm just not sure what to say. We used to practice ahead of time with our children when we were teaching them to talk with people after church. Any suggestions for sincere compliments? Phyllis Tamera,
