By sending them little thank you cards, encouragement cards, and friendship cards by snail mail.
Hugging ...all humans need to be touched.
Sincere compliments.
A small bouquet of wildflowers.
By letting them know you admire a talent or particular trait they have.
Smile, smile, smile....tell jokes if you are good at it.
Phone calls.
E-mails and E-cards.
Sending them something home-cooked or home-baked.
In appropiate situtations, pray with them.
If they are shut-in, offer to run errands, write letters, or just sit and listen.
Make suggestions.

I actually come to this section to help people learn the truth about spiritual things, and hopefully guide them away from God and religion altogether so they can lead happier lives.
My own observation and analysis of the various posters on Yahoo Answers clearly reveals that Atheists are without any doubt, far more intelligent, thought provoking, and capable of holding sensible debate compared to their religious counterparts.
My private research studies indicate that religious people tend to be below average intelligence, and also have a tendency to be more violent than non-believers. This also seems to be supported by profiling various YA religious posters.
Science suggests that religion is a mental illness and that religious people act irrationally because they are genetically predisposed to the “religious or spiritual” gene. Statistics indicate that the higher your education, income, and intelligence, the more likely you are not to believe in a god.
In general terms, this summarises as Atheists are intelligent and religious people suffer from madness. Anything I can do to help religious people escape their madness will encourage a path to a happier and healthier humanity.

The one thing I try to do to encourage others is to give them the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. He died for our sins, He was buried and He took our sins away and He rose again the third day for our justification. He did it all and salvation is a free gift to all that will believe it. After all our life on this planet is short, the life after death is what that is important. Ephesians 2: 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephesians 2: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

I enjoy doing little 'good deeds' for people - even those I don't know - because it makes them feel good but it also warms my heart and makes me feel good. A couple pennies each time you go by the Salvation Army pail during the holidays, or if someone drops something you can pick it up for them or hold a door for them, etc. Just the little everyday things you do will help make humankind a better place.

Encouragement comes naturally for most people. Especially those who are Christ Followers. The Bible says you will know them by their fruits. If someone is looking for encouragement they already know who to turn to for that because they know who will give them the type of encouragement they are looking for. So really everybody just needs to be themself and people will turn to you and encouragement will come naturally.
