SMILE!
God has given us a weapon of defense against all of the ugliness in the world. It is the simple, common smile. A thing of true beauty that brings joy to all who see it. A smile can instantly change ones perspective on the day, turn a frown upside down, turn a gray sky to blue and the cliche's go on and on. If this weapon is so powerful, then why do we spend so little of our day smiling? I walk a lot and it is often difficult to try to get people walking in the opposite direction to even look at me, let alone smile. Too easily we are tuning each other out and becoming disconnected. What keeps us disconnected from each other is probably the same thing that keeps us disconnected from God.
Action For Today
Smile at 10 different people during the day and watch their reaction to your smile. This would be a great activity for your journal at the end of the day to record how people reacted to your smiles.
