Attitude of Gratitude - A Beautiful Thing

Every time you smile at someone it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
MOTHER TERESA
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God and he who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love, does not know God for God is love. 1John 4:7-8
As people become irritated or unsettled in the heat and continued financial uncertainty – everyone trying to accomplish more with less - let’s show people who we are by greeting everyone with a smile. Who knows what the next person is thinking…. Their mind may be on a loved one in the hospital and so they bumped into you – or they may be facing the unchartered territory of a first year without a parent, spouse, relative or friend and are finding it bewildering. Let’s be God’s arms to reach around and love by using our faces to spread His love.
Remember… it may not be that another appears arrogant or unkind “on purpose” but we can sure “love on purpose.” It's a beautiful thing.
