Begin with a Smile

In our days of family illnesses, lack of employment and the day to day challenges of life it is difficult to begin each day with a smile. Yet, without a smile we are doomed to go about the day with a black cloud hovering over us. I sometimes think others view people with the carefree or “Polly Anna” attitude as less serious or capable. Too me the person who is able to smile, show confidence and a positive attitude during strife is probably walking closely with the Lord. If the black cloud is hovering we need to ask the Lord to put the devil at our backs so we may continue our day with less stress and negative feelings. Only leaning on the Lord, praying to our Lord and enjoying the life God has given us are we fully able to live the life God has planned for us. Let’s keep the devil at our backs as we pray, study scripture and continue our Christian fellowship. Our walk through life was never meant to be easy however it can be full of joy when walking with Jesus no matter the circumstance. I pray today that you are able to put on that smile, know that you are a child of God and His plan for you is one of love, success and joy. Reach out and begin each day with a smile…the smile of God. Psalm 74:21 Do not let the oppressed retreat in disgrace; may the poor and needy praise your name. Smiles & Blessings, Cynthia Collins Kaitfors
