“Light in a messenger’s eyes brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones.” Proverbs 15:30
We had a recent change at work; a new software system that required everyone to learn a new process. The whole of the team emanated negativity and resistance. While generally it is a positive group—we were challenged by all the changes, little and big frustrations and real time deadlines to be met.
A colleague popped in from another region and dropped off a fruit basket and cookies. He had been at a partners meeting and just thought we might make use of the extras.
It was so unexpected; our perspectives shifted.
What ways can you offer an unexpected treat to workmates, community members, friends, and family?
Make an effort to be the light, the joy, the good news.
