"Peace begins with a smile."- St.Mother Teresa

One thing that's stuck with me the past couple of years is a teaching I heard about the "ministry of smiling."

Your smile might turn someone's day around.

Your smile might make someone think of their mom, sister, brother, or child whom they've lost.

Your smile might give someone hope.

Your smile might make people think, "How could he be so happy?!"

Your smile might make them say, "Oh, she's a Christian and she's happy?! Maybe I could be, too."

Your smile might be just the thing someone needs to know that everything will be okay.

Your smile might be the first time someone has had contact from another person all day.

Your smile might bring peace to someone's broken heart.

Your smile might change a life.

Your smile might save a life.

So today, even when you don't feel like it, just smile. It takes so little effort. You don't even have to be happy in order to smile. You don't need to fake it. Just smile because the person you're looking at has dignity and is a beloved child of God ❤️😊
