Smile

Colossians 3:12-17

Whatever you do, do it in the name of Jesus and for Jesus. 

I do not feel like smiling today but this morning I read a quotation from Mother Teresa of Calcutta. I will try to smile.

"Some people came to Calcutta, and before leaving, they begged me: 'Tell us something that will help us to live our lives better." And I said: 'Smile at each other; smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other- it doesn't matter who it is smile - and that will help you to grow up in a greater love for each other.' And then one of them asked me: 'Are you married/' and I said: 'Yes, and I find it difficult sometimes to smile at Jesus.' And it is true, Jesus can be very demanding also, and it is at those times when he is so demanding that to give him a big smile is very beautiful.
