Despite how bad our situations may seem or how cruel this world can be, we can always find reasons to smile and be happy.

The link below will show you one of the few things I do here in China that gives me priceless joy:

What's yours?
What gives you joy?
What makes you smile?

Beautiful dear one, great job you are doing to care for those disabled kids
Kids have always been my passion, I like taking care & raising kids.
Singing too, I can't do without
Telling people about Jesus, the love of God (evangelism)

Bless you

Yes, there is.
The WORD OF GOD is the Key to me.
When I think about the faithfulness, goodness and the love of GOD. I'm happy. I'm joyful. I smile at the adversaries or the situation.

Great thread :) Amen! there is always :)


But even if you have no reason to, just smile :) even if it is raining inside you...

smile can do amazing things to the people around u...



Yesterday I went to 711 convenience store to buy a card for my internet...I went in and greeted the storekeeper with a big smile and hello :) while I was waiting for her to give me my card/load.. she told me you look so happy and that's really nice people come and go here with big frown faces.It is nice to see people like that...

I smiled at her and told here"you are beautiful" she replied me back with you are beautiful too with her face shining bright :) Smile won't cost you anything but maybe that is what that person needed at that time...



Smile :)

We certainly have many reasons to smile; probably more than we think we have.

That's true. "A smile can go a long way." That's what they say here in China.
