Be aware, it's not contagious, not the flu, or a cold. It's FREE, comes from any direction,it can spread and it's hard to ignore.
IT'S A SMILE!
S-sensitivity, see, scope
M-mouth,movement
I-interest
L-listen, laughter
E-eye contact
A SMILE is a simple thing to do ,but not so simple that it's not needed. We smile to to give comfort ,sensitivity,acceptance,caring of one person to another A friend's husband has died, we may be at lost for words, a simple smile, may say,"I'm here for you my friend". A smile can acknowledge to a friend or family member pleasure we receive from whatever situation is happening. Watching your child ride a bicycle for the first time and a parent smiles indicating "I'm proud of you, good job. Your in a situation were silence is all that is noted , a smile can transfer a message of understanding. A SMILE is not an expensive gift but many times is needed. It is a gift from our inner self to someone else. It is a gift that Jesus would want us to offer to another person.
to smile

What a great post! A smile can make a big difference! :)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful post. Sending a smile to you and yours with a wish for a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteRose,
ReplyDeleteHow sweet and true! I love how you put it, "a gift from our inner self". That is so good.
Rose,
ReplyDeleteI will smile only if I can give it freely without reserve. If I can't , then the recipient doesn't deserve the acknowledgment.
I know.. I am against the grain. But it is who I am.
But for your post, I am smiling with/at you.
:-)

At our hospital all the employees were asked to smile at anyone within a few feet of you...I was surprised at what a difference it made. Sometimes that's all that's needed to life a spirit..Thanks for the sweet post!
ReplyDeleteI agree totally, I love to smile.

ReplyDeleteHey, I just wanted to explain about the vinegar. If you don't have buttermilk just sour your milk with a little vinegar. I usually use 1T for 1 cup of milk and then just let it sit for a few minutes.
I play a game with my grandson sometimes - especially when he was little - we would try to give a smile away - I told him you could never give a smile away - because when you smile - you get one back! :)
