Find Something To Smile About

"A cheerful heart brings a smile to your face; a sad heart makes it hard to get through the day." Proverbs 15:13

There is always something to smile about even in the roughest of situations. Here is one, you are alive!

Here in the United States we have First World problems a walk in the park compared to Third World Nations.

Don’t be wallowing in self pity but get up and get going and find someone to bless. 

Don’t make everything about you. Get your mind off yourself and take time to smile and praise God for just being able to be alive to bless another person in some way. You are not here by accident. 

PRAYER: Father I am grateful I was born. Help me guard my heart so as not to slip into depression and complacency. Help me find a way to make a difference in someone else’s life. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Where’s That Smile?

 

A happy heart makes the face cheerful,but heartache crushes the spirit. The discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.All the days of the oppressed are wretched but the cheerful heart has a continualfeast. Proverbs 15:13-15 NIV Bible Gateway

How you feeling today? Grumpy, angry, alone, scared? Why not try to give those emotions over to God and exchange them for a big beautiful smile. 

Smiling and laughing is proven to be good for you and not bad to those on receiving end being blessed with a happy face. Now that many places are being able to take off masks that beautiful smile can shine through mightily! 

It is so much easier to be cheerful than gloomy. Of course there are situations where sadness is not an option such as in death of a friend or family member or pet. But as you go about day to day try your best to be cheerful even when you don’t feel like it. 

PRAYER: I like to smile and bring joy to others. Even those people at stoplights asking for handouts can use a smile and eye contact sometimes. Share Christ love with a smile! In Jesus’ name. Amen.
