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 KING AND THE GREEDY BEGGAR...INSPIRING STORY

PSALM 40 ; 04 BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO HAS MADE THE LORD HIS TRUST, WHO HAS NOT TURNED TO THE PROUD, NOR TO THOSE WHO LAPSE INTO FALSEHOOD! VERY MOTIVATIONAL.                Long time ago,  there lived a great king and two beggars who always stood at the gate of his palace everyday. As the king rode by everyday, the first beggar would say, blessed is he whom the king helps, while the second beggar say blessed is he whom the God helps.               The king always felt pleased to hear the praise of the first beggar. One evening the king decided to reward the first beggar for all the praise; he ordered his baker to bake a cake and wrapped gold inside the cake.               The next day he rode by, he gave the cake to the first beggar as he hailed him as usual.
