Smile, it just might brighten up someone’s day.

May 22, 2023

Smile, it just might brighten up someone’s day. Sometimes, the smallest jester means more than money can buy. Sometimes, a smile and a pat on the back can carry you through your day. Sometimes, a hug, a kiss and I love you, can fill your heart with so much joy and love that you can face any problem at hand. Sometimes, a surprise visit can lift your spirits to a soar. Sometimes, a phone call or a text can give you a recharge, so you can keep going. Sometimes, we forget just how important our presence with another person can be. Today, remember your presence is the best gift money can buy—share it—for our relationships are the most important aspect in our lives. “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sin.” (1 Peter 4:8) It is something to remember. God Bless. Amen.
