Reflection

“Before you put on a frown, make absolutely sure there are no smiles available.” –Jim Beggs

Prayer

God our joy,

May we never underestimate the power of a smile. A face shining with joy can be such a genuine comfort to people in pain, experiencing loneliness and isolation, all those who are desperate for hope. As we gather our hearts and minds in prayer today, we ask that each one of our associates might have a new experience of your indwelling spirit and the joy that it brings. Let it spring up from within, so that every patient, family member, colleague and neighbor might be graced with the gift of a hospitable smile. For our sake as much as for those that we serve, Amen.

Call to Action

Take time to receive a spirit of joy today. Let it shine from my face through the gift of a smile.
