The value of a smile

Hello, let me give you this piece which I wrote after a little research.

If you recall, we were told (in a sermon last Sunday) there's much in the power of a smile. What a wonderful world it would be if people could just smile at each other everyday no matter under what circumstances.

There is not only a power but a beauty behind every smile. Remember the MONA LISA, how captivating her smile is and there was that beauty with a 'certain smile' that launched a thousand ships, do you remember who she was?

Let me ask; is it very hard to smile? To be honest, sometimes it can be. But then again isn't it true, no smile is as beautiful as the one that struggles through the tears? I am sure many of us have gone through that experience and recovered victoriously. Hallelujah!

Brighten the world with your smile. Never mind if it cannot launch a thousand ships or captivate your audience like the Mona Lisa does (still do). But put it this way, have you ever seen a smiling face that was not beautiful? I haven't.

It has been said; a smile costs nothing, but gives much. I have also heard people say that a smile can open a heart faster than a key can open a door! The world always looks brighter from behind a smile, true or not?

So what's holding back your smile? Is it because if you smile, it makes people wonder what you’ve been up to? Or are you afraid that if you smile at someone, they might well smile back at you? Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Whichever way you look, a smile is a little curve that can set a lot of things straight and wherever you are; everyone smiles in the same language, don't they?

Effort-wise, you probably already know that it takes two-thirds less muscles to smile than to frown. But truly, no one can measure the warmth of a smile.

A smile is indeed a powerful weapon; you can even 'break ice' with it. Mother Teresa had said, "Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing." So beautiful and so much about smiles that I never knew!

Now if you don't have a smile, is it alright if I give you one of mine? Say "cheese," keep smiling and spread the "magic," won't you? Tomorrow is another day.

Cheers!
