Being Mad in America

| #MetroLifeChurch #minmchurch |
I'm just mad about Saffron & I think she’s
mad about me. Seriously, everybody seems to be mad and PO’d about
something, it’s as if we’ve made it an obsession to be constantly irked. This
can’t be good for our physical or spiritual health.
According to EverydayHeath.com, chronic anger can increase our heart attack and stroke risk. It can also weaken our immune system. Unfettered anger tends to lock us into a single way of thinking; it produces single-mindedness and decreases meaningful conversation. I like what Stephen Hawking wrote about being mad and angry: “People won’t have time for you if you are always angry or complaining” If you're perpetually annoyed and seething, if complaining is a major part of your written and oral conversations, I want to pray with and for you: Father, Don't let even one rotten word seep out of our mouths. Instead, we commit to offer only fresh words that build others up. Teach us how to communicate with grace to those around us. Amen
