WHAT SUNSHINE IS TO FLOWERS, SMILES ARE TO HUMANITY.

          PROVERBS 15; 13 
A HAPPY HEART MAKES THE FACE CHEERFUL.

       The practice of one particular church was to dismiss the children from the Sunday morning service just prior to the sermon. The children would all march forward in a makeshift processional and sing a song as they passed the pulpit on their way to hear a special sermon prepared just for them. The pastor greatly enjoyed this part of the service. He made it a point to smile at each child and always hoped to receive a smile in return.

     One morning, to his surprise , a curly-headed four-year-old girl ran out of the procession and threw herself into her mother's arms, sobbing deeply. After service, the pastor sought out the mother to see what had happened.  The child had told her, "i smiled at God, but God didn't smile back."

     The pastor's heart sank. He had failed to smile, and  child's joy had turned to anguish.


MORAL LESSON

 We may think something as simple as a smile couldn't possibly represent God to those around us, but we can touch someone's life through our smile. Genuine smiles are a sign of affirmation, appreciation, and love.

   We always feel better when we smile. Remember, when you smile at someone they usually smile back. So do you best and put a smile on your face to someone starting today.

    Wow. So should I even smile back at a strange looking man? It happened to me once. Since I didn't know him, I refused to smile back. Was I wrong?

    We must endeavour to smile at all times to people everywhere we go and the people we meet.
    Many people see Jesus in us when we smile at them.

THE SAD STORY OF THE FOUR CANDLES

                      ROMANS 05 ; 03 - 04 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also; knowing that tribulation brings patient, and patient brings experience, and experience also brings hope.                  One evening, four candles were burning slowly whiles having a conversation. The ambiance was so soft one could almost hear them talking.                                               The first candle said; i am PEACE but the world is full of anger and fighting, and nobody wants to keep me lit, and slowly it cried and went off.                                                                                                         The second candle said; i am FAITH , but i am no longer indispensable and it doesn't make sense that i still have to stay lit again, and slowly it went off.

THE 4 MOST COMMON TEMPERAMENTS

            A person's temperament is formed as an infant and never changes. It simply develops over time as you mature and grow, to make you who you are. Studies have shown that temperament does not change but remains constant. THERE ARE FOUR MAIN TYPES OF TEMPERAMENTS TEMPERAMENT TYPES Sanguine (enthusiastic, active, and social) Choleric (short-tempered, fast, and irritable) Melancholic (analytical, wise, and quiet) Phlegmatic (relaxed and peaceful). Psychologists recognize four primary temperament types. The names of the types were originally  names of humor in more distant times . It was believed that humor caused people to behave in certain ways. Although science has refuted the existence of humor in that fashion, the names of the four temperament types stuck. It is possible, in fact likely, that someone will have both primary and secondary temperament types. A person can have any combination of the temperament types to make up their overall personality.
