Take the time to... SMILE

  "A cheerful heart is good medicine,

    but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." Proverbs 17:22 (NIV)

Sometimes when you're sad a smile is one of the most helpful things. A family member, a friend, or even a stranger can light up the day by just smiling. 

And the cool thing is... we can do that too. Smile! Who can you try and cheer up today?

"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing." 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NIV)
