Including variables in jekyll from given file

I want to have my variable assignments placed in a single txt file or similar in jekyll, and have them included in my Front Matter for assignment. So instead of this:

---
variable1: abc
variable2: 123
---

I can have this:

---
{% include variables.txt %}  
---

The purpose of this is to have a website that is editable by a technologically inexperienced client. I want to abstract out the core site structure from the things that need to be edited as much as possible - without setting up a CMS, or moving into a dynamic site (so it can still be hosted on github pages)

You could just throw all of your variables into your _config.yml file and then they can be accessed like this: 

{{ site.variable1 }}
