The Apostle of Smiling

Just a little smile on your lips cheers your heart
Keeps you in good humour
Preserves peace in your soul
Promotes your health
Beautifies your face
Induces kindly thoughts
Inspires kindly deeds
Go out and radiate your smile
That smile has work to do - work to do for God

Smile on the lonely faces
Smile on the sorrowful faces
Smile on the timid faces
Smile on the sickly faces
Smile on the fresh young faces
Smile on the wrinkled old faces
Smile on ths familiar faces of your family and friends

Let all enjoy the beauty and inspiring cheer of your smiling face
Count, if you will, the number of smiles has drawn from others in one day
The number will represent the number of times you have promoted contentment, joy, satisfaction, encouragement or confidence in the heart of others
The influence of your smile is spreading though you do not always see the wonders it is working
Your smile can also bring new life, hope and courage into the hearts of the weary, the overburdened, the discouraged, the tempted and the despairing.
