Unexpected

“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.
