Day 28: A Month of Gratitude, "Good News"

By Carol Kelly (giving Jay a break today)

"A cheerful look brings joy to the heart,
And good news gives health to the bones."

-Proverbs 15:30

I love hearing good news! And it is true that the person telling the encouraging news is usually smiling. I love looking at smiling faces as well.
There is new news everyday; some good and it seems a lot bad. Good news tellers are rare in this day and age, but need to be treasured! Sometimes we have to train ourselves to hear the good news. What good news did hear lately? How did it make you feel? Happier? Stronger? How did you feel about the bearer of the good news? Grateful? Then what did you do with the news? I bet you shared it with someone else. Good news is contagious!

HOMEWORK: Filter out the bad news today and train your ear to hear the good. Thank the “good news” bearers in your life and then practice being one!

Have fun growing in gratitude today. Hope this helps. See you tomorrow,
-Carol Kelly
