The
Smile She
smiled at a sorrowful stranger. The smile seemed to make him feel better. He
remembered past kindnesses of a friend and wrote him a thank-you letter. The
friend was so pleased with the thank-you that he left a large tip after lunch. The
waitress, surprised by the size of the tip, bet the whole thing on a hunch. The
next day she picked up her winnings, and gave part to a man on the street. The
man on the street was grateful; for two days he'd had nothing to eat. After
he finished his dinner, he left for his small dingy room. (He
didn't know at that moment that he might be facing his doom.)
On the way
he picked up a shivering puppy and took him home to get warm. The
puppy was very grateful to be in out of the storm. That
night the house caught on fire. The puppy barked at the alarm. He barked 'til
he woke the whole household and saved everybody from harm. One
of the boys that he rescued grew up to be President. All this because of a
simple smile that hadn't cost a cent. author: Barbara Hauck Just
remember to Keep Smiling Sun comes after rain. Joy comes after pain.
So
many hearts need hope, so many people are searching for meaning and purpose in
their lives. Let us make this a day to give someone a smile. Let us make
this a day when God's love flows from heart to heart, a day when we let
others know that they are loved.
