Chapter 5: Bringing Son-shine to Others
This whole chapter is about the value of a smile. :) Yes, a smile. It's all children really need to see in the stands, auditorium, or wherever you end up being to support them. Smile to them encouragement! :)
Make the decision today to be a smiling mom and see what happens.
Start giving your smile away as a gift to the people around you, whether you feel like it or not; you'll find that the feelings will follow, and you will be the richer for it.
After all, with the joy we find only in Christ, we have reason to smile.
DO: Pick a day this week to give everyone you come in contact with the gift of a sincere smile. Share with your husband, your children, or a friend how your experience with smiles touched you and touched others.
Questions:
1. What are some of the reasons people choose not to smile?
2. What are some reasons you personally have to be joyful?
3. In what ways do you express your joy?
4. Did you do the experiment with smiles? If so, tell about it.
5. Prayer requests and praises. :)
