Smile

There is an old question that asks, "Do you know the quickest and cheapest way to make yourself look better?" Do you? SMILE. There is nothing that makes someone instantly more appealing than a simple, sincere, heartfelt smile. When you smile, you open up to the world and allow the world to open up to you.

There are tons of people that go through life in the mully-grubs about anything and everything all the time. Look, there are days that I absolutely do not feel like smiling. There are times when a smile would be most inappropriate. But, there are many more times when a smile is all it might take to make someone else's day, and improve yours too.

Today's word is Job 9:27, NIV, which reads, "...I will forget my complaint, I will change my expression, and smile."

As we have discussed before, even on our worst day, there is usually something that we can smile about. I mean, I have a wife that loves me, two kids that think I am the greatest thing since sliced bread (they are still young), and good health. That alone is enough to make me smile. However, when I think about all that JESUS has done for me and all that He has prepared for me, how could I not smile?

You got things you want to complain about? Sure, we all do. You got things you want to gripe about? Sure, we all do. When you get the griping and complaining taken care of, why not change your expression and put on a smile? Think about all you have, all the blessings that GOD has so freely and generously bestowed upon you - that should make you smile.

Be Blessed,
