Do they Smile Back?
When you smile at a total stranger do they smile back?
When you assist an elderly or handicapped person in the store do they smile back?
When you pick up toy that a baby dropped while mom’s hands are full does she smile back?
When you offer to pay for the coffee behind you do you think they smile back?
When you show a random act of kindness to a stranger do you think they smile?
When you put a random thinking of you card in the mail for an inexpecting loved one do you think they smile?
Let’s ponder this thought for a moment. It doesn’t take a lot of money to share a simple act of kindness thus producing a smile on a loved one or a total stranger.
I have a challenge for you. Take time today to think about just one opportunity to share a random act of kindness to either someone you love or a total stranger.
You will find this random act will not only be a blessing to someone else, but you will be surprised the reward you will receive as well.
Friends, on this Valentine’s Day let’s take a moment to do something for someone that will make them smile.

I am a wife, mom, and daughter. I have served in the United States Army, gone to college, and received a Batchelor's Degree in Criminology. I married my husband when he was on active duty in the United States Army so I have the unique knowledge of what it is like to be on both sides of a Military uniform. I have been a wife for a lot longer than when I was in the Army.
While we were stationed in Germany, my daughter, who is 23 years old now was born and I chose to put my career on hold to be a mom and eventually a homeschool mom.
The past 15 years have been wrought with many struggles for various reasons, but it is as a result of those struggles that this blog has come about.
As the years passed and the struggle kept coming, I would say to God, "I'm not sure why we have to go through all of this, but if we have to God, then allow my story to serve as a means of encouragement to others so all this pain isn't for nothing."
Well, the years passed but the struggles never went away. I feel now is the time God wants me to begin sharing my story. It is my prayer as I share my heart that it will serve as a healing opportunity for you, my readers. Know you are not alone. There are hope and encouragement that waits.
