put on a happy face

“A cheerful look brings joy to the heart..." Proverbs 15:30

Every direction i turned, reminded me to smile.  It started the moment i arrived at school.  Waiting for me on my desk was a book with a teacher's note on it, asking us to return a student's book to her former school.  I couldn't help but smile as i typed an email to the other school's librarian, telling her to expect a "Smile" in the interoffice mail. 

And then later, we received a box containing materials for our upcoming Book Fair.  It caused me to think, despite the many safety modifications on how Book Fair will operate this year, being able to offer this event in any fashion is reason to Smile!   

We likely will not experience the financial success of past years, and we are fine with that.  A sense of comforting normality is of greater importance this year.  Just seeing and hearing the excitement of our students tickled our hearts.  Their SMILES  and squeals due to the upcoming Book Fair, makes any extra work necessary well worth it. 

And if that wasn't enough to keep me smiling and motivated all day, being treated to a wonderful deli lunch did!

Despite hardships, uncertainties, and disappointments when we look around, we usually can find a reason to Smile!  And if we need some help, God will provide it through His earthly angels.  Thank You, Father.

May your cheerful heart show on your smiling face and spread to others. 

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live like we believe it
