I posted this on Facebook and Myspace, but I wanted to post it here too.
I read an article in a magazine, where they asked celebrities what makes them smile. This made me think, "I wonder what makes my friends smile?" I'll start! I'll try to narrow it down here.
God moments... These are the moments when something happens that is DIRECT answer to prayer, or is so unmistakably God. Sometimes it makes me laugh, sometimes it makes me cry, but it always makes me smile.
My family... The way we love each other. We don't always agree, and we don't see each other as much as we'd like, but we ALWAYS love each other.
My friends... I have so many beautiful friends from so many different backgrounds. They have such different stories to tell. They inspire me, and they make me smile.
Nature... We rush through life so much sometimes that we forget to take the time and notice God's beautiful creation. I try to stop and take notice as much as I can. God is the best artist.
Strangers... Everyone is so consumed with their own lives and their own struggles, that we don't always notice one another. It makes me smile to see strangers being kind to each other. Holding open a door, giving directions, smiling and saying hello...they seem like little things, but they are pretty amazing.
Children... They are so full of wonder, and they see the world with such different eyes. We can learn as much or more from them as they can from us.
Making a difference... I love to help people. Big ways, small ways, any way I can. I like to make people smile, lift them up in prayer, or make something easier for them. It is a blessing when God uses me in that way, and it makes me smile.
I was going to narrow that down, wasn't I? Ah well... You can't smile TOO much. So what makes YOU smile? Please comment!
