Tonight my sister in law prepared a lesson for my nephew and niece that touched my heart. Her objective to her lessons are kept simple as they are young, but there is always something to be taken for everyone. She talked about all about smiling and being happy especially when your prayers are answered. She read a quote regarding smiling that I wanted to share with everyone.
"A smile costs nothing, but gives much. It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he can get along wihout it, and none is so poor but that he can be made rich by it. A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is the countersign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and is nature's best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen, for it is something that is no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give."
And to top off this great quote, my darling adorable nephew flashed me the biggest smile when the lesson was over. As I reflect back on the last few months on being a mom, I would have to say that Alison's smile is my most favorite thing. I could be having the worst day or the best day ever, and once she flashes the widest smile ever I seem to forget about everything at the moment and just allow her smile to embrace every part of me. What that said....Give a smile...share them with all!!
