The cashier and the bagger are on their feet all day, and often have to deal with people who have also had a long day and sometimes crabby. Yes, I also try to smile at the people who are shopping. Here is a smile for you :-)Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18070555200892952455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-36497381900023462752009-09-12T20:49:54.437-04:002009-09-12T20:49:54.437-04:00TUC, you are a delight.

The very presence of children lit up the faces of the residents. If the kids stopped and smiled, and exchanged a touch, I think it made their whole day. Absolutely amazing how powerful small gestures can be. God will surely bless you richly for the love you extend as you visit your mother.<br /><br />Amy Jo, I'm good at the smiling. I have to work more on being in less of a hurry so I take time to listen more often. And you ARE blessed. The great thing about love is that you are blessed in giving it away. And those drinks of living waters? Lots of drinks, and even if few are long, I've been getting them all day long. :-) backatcha!Anne Lang Bundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998809463390846323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-14480033423978272622009-09-11T22:45:59.785-04:002009-09-11T22:45:59.785-04:00Love the smile ministry!!!

I've felt led over the past few months to look for opportunities to bless others when I'm out and about-whether it be in friendly conversation - complimenting them or asking them about themselves, or allowing them to check out in front of me at the grocery store. It becomes quite addictive! Now I find them when I interract with someone, I seek out the beautiful and verbalize it. Granted, I'd rather comment on <br /><br />their inside beauty - but it's kind of hard with strangers. :-) I love feeling God leading me in these brief interractions. I feel so blessed by Him. <br /><br />Praying your weekend is FULL of opportunities to take lots of LONG drinks of HIM. :-)Amy Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06723131712935063028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-5063745818477439742009-09-11T17:24:44.915-04:002009-09-11T17:24:44.915-04:00What a delightful post, reminding us that God'...What a delightful post, reminding us that God's light can shine through us just in a smile! My mother lives in a nursing home. Much of my ministry there is for her, yet the pats on the shoulders, the "Hello, Mrs. ... " or "Hi, Mr. ..." , the hugs, the picking up of a shoe that has fallen off, or any little time spent with these precious folks, no matter what condition they are in really makes a day...not only for them but for me! <br />I want to thank you for giving this ministry a 'name'! Smile Ministry! I love it! <br />~ lindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-4739602532121222852009-09-11T15:21:41.244-04:002009-09-11T15:21:41.244-04:00Denise, I can hardly wait to hug you.
Wendy, you ...Denise, I can hardly wait to hug you.<br /><br />Wendy, you speak as someone engaged in smile ministry. Yes, I do enjoy seeing the surprise.<br /><br />Eileen, He ALWAYS knows what we need. And I'm glad to share. I try to keep a balance between letting people get to know me and making this more about HIM.<br /><br />T. Anne, if smiling is a sign of weakness, why does it give me so much energy? And I googled that quote. It's attributed to Leo Tolstoy.<br /><br />Doug, the Lord never ceases to sneak up on me with a "gotcha!" Here's a little about the song.<br /><br />Horatio Spafford wrote "It is Well With My Soul" as his ship passed the point where all four of his daughters were lost in a shipreck which his wife survived. The peace of God overshadowed his sorrow, and thus the opening verse of the song:<br /><br /><i>When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,<br />when sorrows ilke sea billows roll—<br />Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,<br />It is well, it is well with my soul.</i>Anne Lang Bundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998809463390846323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-53256723108275518992009-09-11T14:55:38.939-04:002009-09-11T14:55:38.939-04:00Oh the Lord knew how to reach you.

Literally "over" as he floated over the location their ship had gone down. <br /><br />Smile ministry. That really works. In any language.
