What is common about everyone in the picture above? Whether it's a businessman or best friends or cute little kids or Anberlin or whatever...everyone is smiling! Doesn't the picture above just make you happy???
The message of this blog post is pretty simple--SMILE! From the Pastors Retreat in Corpus Christi, I remembered what Pastor Ponnatee said about how a smile can go a long way. Something as simple as a smile can brighten someone else's day.
But you might say, "Why? Why should I smile if I have nothing to smile about? You don't understand what's going on with me right now." True, but no matter what's going on with you, if you've accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior--then YOU ARE SAVED! You are no longer condemned to hell! You are free from sin, and you're going to Heaven! Now, that's something to smile about!
So here's a challenge for next week (September 7-13): Smile at 14 people this week, that's two per day. Smile at anyone and everyone, whether it's someone you know or someone you don't know. And if someone asks you why you have that infectious grin on your face, you can tell them why...YOU'RE SAVED!
After all, you're never fully dressed...without a smile!

Awesome! I know I appreciate it when people smile at me, it always brightens my day! What if every christian around the world took your smiling challenge? We would have a much happier world for sure! I'm totally in.
Actually, I tried it today at church! I was actually feeling pretty bad today, but I tried to smile as much as I could (the only reason being the challenge), and it made me feel a lot better!
=D
true, true, true! Like pastor Ponnatee said, even if somebody doesn't smile back just smile! There's a reason we have the joy of the Lord. =D
amd yeah, I need to work on smiling more often...
