Several years ago, I was in the hospital for a few days. I got tired of TV and games on my phone. So, I decided to people watch. Everyone who walked down the hall was fair game. Some made eye contact. Others didn’t. One lady walked past my room, then came back and stood in my door. She said, “I just had to stop and say thank you for the smile. I needed it.”
“A Cheerful look brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones.” Proverbs 15:30
I didn’t even realize that I was grinning at her. And I’m not sure who made who smile the most. That’s how joy works. You share it and can’t help but feel it as well. Want to test it out? Give someone a smile today. Share some good news. It just may bring “joy to the heart”…yours and theirs! – Sandi
