Scientists have discovered that we’ve been hardwired to give. At the University of Oregon researchers have found that giving to charity is neurologically similar to taking an addictive drug or learning that you have received a winning lottery ticket. It seems clear then that people give to charity not only because they think it is a good thing to do, but also because it make them feel good. It also obviously helps the person they’re giving to. The Bible says that God loves a cheerful giver. Maybe it’s time for you to adopt a charity; to find a cause and to be generous. Maybe the benefits will be out of this world.

Sometimes forgiving someone can be the hardest thing you can do. But according to the Mayo Health Clinic in the US. Forgiveness can lead to less anxiety, stress, lower blood pressure, fewer symptoms of depression and a lower risk of alcohol and substance abuse. CS Lewis said this “I can forgive the inexcusable in others, because Christ forgave the inexcusable in me”. Who do you need to forgive? Why not take some time to forgive them right now?

Insurance companies say that 1 in 6 people in Australia describe themselves as an impatient driver. 91% believe drivers are becoming more aggressive. 57% admit they have gestured rudely or yelled at another driver when they have done something that they thought was dangerous or rude. And 20% admit they have become angry with another driver and tailgated them. And out of those 56% believe that their response was justified. We need to practice self-control and the lost art of patience. We should remember the biblical of turning the other cheek and loving your neighbour. Especially on the road.
