A Cheerful Look

Scripture – Proverbs 15:30: A cheerful look brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones.

Reflection: These Proverbs have a way of touching day to day life in practical ways. They give snapshots of how the Lord would have me live. Today we have another example that’s easy to understand even as it may be difficult to put into practice.

We’ve all experienced grumpy people in our lives. How do they affect you? How do you react to them?

There are days when I’m that grumpy person. That comes from a number of causes. You understand. How do I affect other people on those days?

Most days, though, I have the option of bringing a cheerful look and/or good news. How has a cheerful look affected you? How did you react to it?

I’ll be aware of my demeanor today. What kind of attitude will I give? Will I reflect the attitude of others? Or will I consciously bring a cheerful look and tone?
