Smile!

Do you know how much good it can do? Simple and momentary, but able to create a lasting impression. It has the power to comfort, to heal, to communicate care and warmth, love and encouragement. The value of this can’t be measured. It costs nothing to give, but means the world to him who receives it. What is it?

 

A Smile.

 

I love smiles. Given purely and selflessly, they are like a hug, or arms outstretched in welcome, a quiet conversation, a joyous reunion. Some of my most treasured memories are of the smiles I have been offered.

 

You can do a world of good just by smiling at someone. All day, every day. Show them you care, show them God cares, by smiling. It won’t just make them feel better, either…a cheerful heart is like a cure to its bearer.

 

Smile at your Mama, the clerk at Wal-Mart, the neighbor driving by, the homeless lady on the park bench, just smile! Rejoice in God’s beauty and His love, and share His life with others. Even if you think it’s a dinky offering, I can assure you that it is not.

 

A pure smile is a treasure too valuable to keep hidden.
