Reflection

“No one needs a smile so much as the one who has none to give.” –Margaret Rymer

Prayer

Gentle God,

Help us never to underestimate the significance of a smile. May we build a culture in which we are eager to share a sincere smile and a kind word with those in need. No matter who they are or what has brought us together, help us practice your kindness towards all those you send our way. When we encounter especially the crestfallen, the hurting and sorrowful, may we serve them as you would, with love, joy, and compassion. Amen.

Call to Action

Be on the lookout today for that one special person who is especially in need of perking up. Take a chance and share with them a sincere smile.
