Your Tone is a Tune

Every time you speak to another person, your tone of voice is either going to be similar to pleasant music or to distressful notes. When a person is frustrated or angry or overwhelmed, the tone of voice emits very different music than when a person is calm and serene, happy and joyful, kind and compassionate.

If someone would have to sing at his best professionally, regardless of how he felt a few minutes earlier, he knows that he has to put himself into the state of singing well. The more important the reason for singing well, the more motivated he would feel to do the best job he possibly could. That should be our attitude when speaking to another child of the Almighty. We are speaking in the presence of the Creator to one of His children. Speak with a tone of voice that is conducive to harmony with others.

This reminds of the "Grrrrrr..." state of mind I use to be in so often. It got so that I actually sounded it out. It wasn't enough to just gripe and complain, I had to growl too. Looking back I realize it was an ego thing. Not getting my own way, looking for attention, and as I often said, "I love being the center of attention, especially the male variety."

Again, if I need to believe that my HP can do all things and turn over my thinking as well as my drinking and drugging into His care. God and I have collaborated on a lot of things and some are still works in process! Thank God for progress not perfection.

It isn't always about what you say, but how you say it. I am always after my son about him raising his voice; and then I have to remember he is going deaf, from years of working with machines.
