[:en]EVERYDAY MOMENTS

In our everyday moments, there are times of interruption, disappointment, inconvenieces, injustice, anger, mourning and despair.  But a smile can offer relief, hope and the grace needed to continue.

Proverbs 15:13 says: “A happy heart makes  the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit”.   God wants us to have a happy heart because a happy heart is a manifestation of peace and contentment.  With a happy heart, we can respond to surprising circumstances with a genuine smile, inviting others to embrace the hope and peace they too can experience with God.  -by (Elisa Morgan)[:]
