God sees. He is always there, He always cares about you.
Looking someone in the eyes and giving a simple smile and saying hello can do great things for a person! You never know if they may feel invisible. Acknowledging someone might be a small act, but there is great power in a simple smile.
Take time today to think about those around you and share a smile.
I love the message in this song The Smallest Thing by Frances
It’s easy when for you the sun is shining
How could I have been so blind?
How could I miss so much?
Just a word from me
The smallest thing
Could have been enough
Why didn’t I give some time?
Why didn’t I spare some love?
Just a smile from me
The smallest thing
Could pick the pieces up
The smallest thing
I didn’t take the time to ask if everything’s okay
When everyone else walked on by, I just did the same
I’ve been counting problems but the truth is I was fine
The people I’ve ignored each day feel pain much worse than mine
How could I have been so blind?
How could I miss so much?
Just a word from me
The smallest thing
Could have been enough
Why didn’t I give some time?
Why didn’t I spare some love?
Just a smile from me
The smallest thing
Could pick the pieces up
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
It’s easy when for you the sun is shining
How could I have been so blind?
How could I miss so much?
Just a word from me
The smallest thing
Could have been enough
Why didn’t I give some time?
Why didn’t I spare some love?
Just a smile from me
The smallest thing
Could pick the pieces up
Just because someone has a different point of view, perspective, or culture does not give us the right to disregard, look down on, or ignore their presence.
Just because we disagree with what someone else believes doesn’t mean we have a right to treat them insensitively or with anything other than love and kindness.
There’s so much anxiety, unrest, and strife in our world! We have made things all about which side we’re on, you against me, us against them. I’m right, so you are automatically wrong.
When it comes right down to it, we are all people, we are all imperfectly flawed. We all make mistakes.
We are all different. These differences are what make us special. These differences are not what makes us weaker or less than.
It often seems hopeless, as if bad people are getting rewarded, and it seems that hate will win. In the end, doing the right thing is still the best thing to do and being kind is still worthwhile.
So while I cannot change a lot of things about the world, I can be kind to those I interact with. I can smile at, and acknowledge those around me. I don’t want to stand by and do nothing!
What can we all do?
Be a friend.
Smile.
Be kind.
Get over your self, get out of your own way!
Choose happiness, choose joy!

The world we live in is a scary and mean place. The best way to change it is to be the change in it. We can start one person at a time by teaching our children to be different than all the others.
This is how they’ll change the world, by us teaching them to be kind, offer help, be a friend, and look for the good!
