Anger gets a bad rap. Anger is a secondary emotion and is often used to protect more vulnerable feelings beneath like hurt, sadness or loneliness. Sometimes anger can be righteous. Before reacting out of anger, reflect and pray to see what other emotions come up. And if you’re mad at God, pray that too. He can handle it.

“Don’t say no if you mean yes.” These words were spoken by my previous boss/pastor. It really got me thinking if I mean what I say or if I was trying to be nice like we Texans do. I felt bad accepting help, like I was imposing.

But I am a helper. I enjoy helping others. I had to learn to allow others to feel this same joy ultimately by allowing them to help me sometimes. Don’t rob someone of the joy of helping you. Say yes to help.
