Once when I was waiting for a particular train at late night, an incident that happened amazed me. I saw a weary old father, walking cheerfully with heavy bundles on his head, holding his little daughter. He lifted the things down on a stone bench and looked very pathetic. In a few seconds I saw him smiling sincerely at someone, which made me curious to know who is at the other end. It was his elder daughter who came towards him smiling and kissing her sleepy younger sister whom she was carrying in her left arms and a bundle in her right shoulder. When the father and his daughters were exchanging their love, again I saw a little girl walking slowly towards them, with eyelids half closed in drowsiness, stumbling both the sides, dragging a small bundle. When the elder sister saw that her little sister coming towards them with drowsing heavy-eyes, she rushed to her aid, embraced her, hold her in her arms and showered her with kisses. After a few steps, it also astonished me to see, that the little bud, opened her eyes widely, hold on her elder sister's neck tightly with a smile and kissed her in turn of the warm affection that she received from her. Finally they all came together and sat down for their supper with full blooming face.
My dear sisters and brothers, this may an event in our day to day life. But it taught me some values in my life, which no one can teach in words. Though they were burdened the whole day, it was their affectionate love for one another that kept them moving on. Many times when others smile at us, it has brought some changes in our life, which we have never realized because we have taken them for granted.
An honest smile makes others to forget their hard times in life. Our smile is enough to encourage the down trodden and to let the captives free. God never asked any great things or miracles from us. He said just to love our neighbours as He loves us. Our genuine Smile of today can change the life of someone tomorrow. Our heart felt smile has the power to heal the wounds and to break the stony hearts. Look around us, where people struggle due to various reasons which we never thought of, in our lives. You and I cannot go and aid them individually. So let us just give a blessing of smile and see what happens in our life and theirs too.
A Smile costs nothing, but does many things in life. It can do miracles. So my dear friends carry the medicine SMILE with you, wherever you go and heal the wounded souls. SMILE begets SMILE.
Now SMILE please. Thanks, cos ur smile is valuable for me too.
