Smiles

Real family are the ones that love us for who we are and are there to support us in good times and in hard times. They let us be ourselves but are not unkind or dish out put downs. They show love, respect, and a sensitive responsibility to their brothers and sisters. They aren't so concerned about their own thoughts that they can't hear an others experiences or tromp over things that are sacred and important to another. It is sometimes not the people who we are blood related that are our true family. That can be a special connection but also a stressful alienation at times. We all go through different, stages, challenges, and changes in our lives. Sometimes we find our family members are not there for us but our (not related) family help us through and become our life long family. Sometimes they are our temporary family right when we needed it by helping us through a difficult or challenging time and then we might not see them again.. We are all a part of the human family and can find family members wherever we go. God sends angels that may be in the form of people. How can we attract these other family members into our lives? Just simply look and pray and have faith that they will appear. We are in Gods gentle and loving hands and he will help us whenever we request it or even when we don't because he knows our needs before we ask. It has been a great blessing to meet other not by blood family members throughout my life. You can recognize them by the immediate kinship and connection you feel. Just like a garden to keep the flowers alive , family must be nurtured and connected with regularly. Just like reaching towards God to connect, we must reach out to others to find those special family members. One way is to smile and believe they are coming. Smiles open our positive hearts to the good things and people in life. Smiles are powerful


Smiles

A smile is sunshine parting the clouds of a storm

A babies first smile is a glimpse of heaven

A stranger can smile for no reason and make our day

A bunch of fresh fragrant flowers always brings a smile

A smile can join the whole human race and make them colorblind

Smiles are like bright colored helium balloons and lift us
.
Cheerful song birds of spring always bring smiles and a joyful heart

Frequent smilers are like freguent fliers

They extend the travel time of our lives

This is to all the family of my heart and may you be full of smiles today
