You Are My Sunshine

Do you remember, or have you heard, the old song:
 "YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE, MY ONLY SUNSHINE....YOU MAKE ME HAPPY WHEN SKYS ARE GRAY....YOU WILL NEVER KNOW DEAR, HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU... PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY SUNSHINE AWAY...."

Well, these two little sweethearts bring me soooo much sunshine! They are my two beautiful grandchildren, Ella and Ezra. Just seeing their smiling faces brightens my day in a huge way.

As an adult, out in the everyday world, I can forget sometimes that my facial expressions are saying things to others, even when I'm unaware of it.  I'm a big one for observing body language when I am talking to someone.  It's one way we can tell if others are understanding what we are meaning to say to them.  (and vice versa)

"Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important."            

"Our attitude always tells others what we expect in return."    John Mason

              

So tomorrow and the rest of this week, decide before you get out of bed what expression you are going to wear that day.  Is it going to spread SUNSHINE, and add some value and joy to others?  Or will you choose to be the grouch with the unwelcoming expression that says "stay away from me!" Ask God to use your expressions to magnify Him.  I promise you that He will deliver.

"You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore."...Psalms 16:11

Blessings and Smiles,
