AM I CONTAGIOUS????

I heard an amazing statement today. EVERYTHING is contagious! Have you ever thought of that? We think of germs, sickness, diseases and how contagious they are. We try to guard against them. We buy hand sanitizers, we have wipes, toilet seat covers, rubber gloves, we do fist bumps instead of handshakes. We are aware that we can catch germs

What about attitudes? Have you ever thought that attitudes are contagious? Have you ever watched a video of laughing babies? What do you do when you watch? You join in, don’t you? You laugh just as hard. When others are laughing we laugh.

Fear and anger are contagious. Do you remember 2000 the millennium? How many people stocked up on water and food? We caught others fear.

Anger, we have all seen the ripple effect of anger. Your spouse comes home upset because the  boss yelled at them. They in turn  yell at you, you yell at teen, teen yells at toddler and toddler kicks the cat.

This sparks my question. How contagious are you? What are you spreading? Are you spreading

JOY? Anger?

LOVE? Hatred?

Good News ? Gossip?

Just like bad germs spreading quickly, bad news and gossip spread quicker than good news . Hatred spreads quicker than Love. Just look around our world and you will see. All our wars and prejudice and struggle because of hate and fear.

We say we want peace and love, but what are we doing to promote it?

What are you spreading?  Just like using hand sanitizers etc. to avoid getting germs we need to be as obvious about being contagious in a positive way.

We need to be INTENTIONAL! Think before you speak. Will your words cause hurt? Will it spread bitterness and hate? Or will they be like a vitamin? Good for our body ,like a balm or salve soothing to our ears and heart?

Go out today and hug someone SPREAD your love today! SHARE the GOOD NEWS! Watch a positive ripple effect happen when you do this.
