Hymns for the National Day of Encouragement

This coming Thursday (September 12) is the National Day of Encouragement and considering Colossians 3:16-17 links hymns and encouragement together, here's a timely challenge for you. 😊 Your mission, should you choose to accept it is this:

Choose your favorite encouraging hymn quotes below and write them in a card to send to a friend.
