This song is stuck in my head!
"This little light of mine. I'm gonna let it shine"
You know you are humming it now! Smile!
I thought to challenge myself to open my heart and shine God's light bright through me today.
I often catch myself with me and what I am walking through on my mind...
with my lists of begging requests to God. Uggh! I don't want my heart to stay there!
So today I caught myself and thought
to ask God simply,"What can I do for you God today?
"What can I do for one of your children so they feel your big light shining in their soul?"
You know the kind that you can't help but smile because it is coming all out of ya!
"What can I do to get my thoughts out of my life challenges and bring some good~sweet joy?"
Oh my, I sooooo need to do this in every way!
So today I challenge you too.
To smile in the company of others because nine times out of ten
we have no clue what they are going through internally or in their lives.
I am gonna be willing to try. Would you be up for trying too?
If you are going through a hard time, I pray someone shines a little soul shine on ya.
I hope you feel that I just did! Sent soul-shine all over you that is!
I pray and hope your day the good kind of amazing and so full of light that you feel
beams coming out of your heart and onto another.
You can't dust that kind of happy off of you~! I dare you to try!
Just sayin....
"You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
"Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket,
but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
"Let your light so shine before men, that they
may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
(Matthew 5:14-16)
Mwaaahhhhhhh of sunshine all over you!

Beautiful post, Little Lady.
How true....you NEVER know what another is going through and a smile truly works wonders.
I learned from an early age that if I smiled, even if I was scared or so unsure of myself or whether others liked/wanted me in their company....that all I had to do was smile and COMPLETE strangers would be powerless NOT to smile back.
I do it all the time...and now, in my 40s...I realize that my smile is the very best currency I have.
Shinin' a little light over here too, Friend!
You are a beautiful person inside & out and I mean that! You have made my day many a time:)
I just found your blog and I love it! It is sooooo inspiring and encouraging.
I am now singing "this little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.....
Smiling,

Thank you for your inspiring post! When I get in my car and drive to work, I drive into some of the worst (and dangerous) parts of the city to visit with first time mothers in their home. Every day they teach me an important lesson...the world isn't about material things... it is about reaching out to those who need inspiration...need hope..so let your light shine and shine it bright!! Thank you for reminding us all!!
Kristin you are so amazing! i love this post. how important it is for us to smile at others because we don't know what they are going through. thank you for reminding us to smile and to think about others. i love smiling at people, especially when i see a frown on their faces. a simple smile really does make a
HUGE difference. so yes, i will continue to do the great work of Christ and smile, and thank you because sometimes we do forget. also, thank you for your lovely prayer! i pray that you will have a wonderfully blessed week Kristin!
God Bless,
Charmaine
