Day 12...are you with me?

Each day, a new challenge. This one is so easy and so fun and such a great habit to start. The best part is that when you start thinking this way you spend your whole day:

12. Try to make at least three people smile each day.

It's not all that hard, you know. Try it!

And then let God smile down on you to replenish all those smiles you give away each day.

There's all kinds of saying to encourage people to smile: It's the one gift that you can give and enjoy getting back; It's free and easy; and others. So why don't we do it more often?

Just like all the other tips in this series, when reminded we do it well. So why don't we make it habit and not have to be reminded?

Do you know that a simple smile can change a person's whole day?

One day I was in a turning lane and the person driving the other direction didn't like how I aimed my car. It was a huge turning lane for both directions of traffic. On this nice day, with the windows open, he hollered and shook his fist at me. I smiled, apologized, and said, "God bless the rest of your day." I sincerely hope I made his day better.

So even if you're in a rut, smile! You can make YOUR day better, too!

God loves all of His children, even you and me.
