Hi! Happy Holidays! I”m Claudia Mitchell with a minute message from SOCC. Mr Grump walked into the donut shop ranting like a noisy gong or clanging cymbal.
Something invisible and mysterious is splashing out of us. We all carry an emotional climate with us like a big cloud over our head.
Just like a forecast predicts the weather our climate predicts our impact on the world.
Do you need a climate change? What's it like to be on the other side of you? Paul who walked with Jesus gave ancient advise to change a grumpy climate. He said thankfulness and prayer bring peace. Research shows thankfulness actually does something structurally to our brain, building resilience toward stress, and bringing our awareness back to the presence, creating peace.
Thankfulness is a miracle in our pockets, our secret weapon for such a time as this. So no matter what the weather looks like outside today, we can change our climate to splash peace into the world.
By the way who has a Grumpy climate in a donut shop?
