I will forget my complaint, I will change my expression, and smile.

Job 9:27

All people smile in the same language.  A happy heart makes the face cheerful….

Proverbs 15:13

Dear Lord, Thank you for the promise of Your word.  Thank you for smiles and reasons to smile. Help me to always spread smiles – not frowns.  Thank you for friends and family that only hearing their name bring joy to my heart, giving me a sparkle in my eye and joy on my face.  Thank you for your gifts of landscape, flowers, art, music, dance, babies, children, family, friends, books and the other joys in life that make me laugh and smile with awe. In my heart I know that God is with me and loves me.  So my heart has every reason to smile. Amen.
