Smiles: The easiest way to put oneself and others at ease, a show of understanding and acceptance of a person, thing or situation. The ease at which it is given could save a soul and the withholding of it could destroy one too. It is the reflection of our inner strength, beauty, courage, emotions etc.

Many times, circumstances are what trigger the parting of our lips in a smile. Sometimes one is forced to smile through tears or pain, joy or laughter, in pretence or sincerity. It is also easy to hide behind a smile. Such smiles are what can be called fake or plastic. It never gets to the eyes. Of course you do know, your eyes dance and become brightened when you sincerely smile with your lips. You sure look more beautiful wearing a smile.

There are occasions our smile falter and we struggle to hold onto it, especially in difficult circumstances but our ability to succeed shows our inner strength. To smile through our pain to help brighten and lessen that of another, is a show of our inner beauty and courage.  

Smiles could travel miles (even through the waves/wires of your telephone), could be heard in your voice and felt to warm the cold hearted, to strength the weak, shelter and envelop the homeless, better your life etc. Such a great weapon you’ve got. Never let go of it even in difficult times because “cheerful look brings joy to the heart; good news makes for good health Proverbs 15:30 (New Living Translation), Also, A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones Proverbs 17:22 (King James Version).”

Through it all remember “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose Romans 8:28”.

Cheers!
