"Today I'll take every smile of yours for Myself."
So I decided to smile at everything and everybody.
-Gabrielle Bossis
When I woke up, this quote came to me, so I decided to do just that. This day, I offered my smile to Jesus. I smiled as I walked down my usual path to my lecture, said my good morning to people cheerfully and tried to look at everything in a positive way.
Looking back at this day, I noticed that people tend to be nicer when you smile and your day seems to be that much brighter when you offer what you do to Jesus. I found it nice when the people I passed on the streets randomly smiles at me just because I was smiling at them especially while I was doing my volunteering this afternoon. We had the Big Spring Clean Up in my University today. The Vteam organised it and gathered all the staff and students that wanted to volunteer. They split us up into groups and sent us off to different locations around the university. We were meant to pick up rubbish as we make our way back to Uni.
And so, there I was with my friends, a litter picker in one hand, a black bin on the other and a smile on my face. As we were walking and happily picking up rubbish with our cool litter picker, playing some kind of word game amongst ourselves, some passerby's came to us and just randomly encouraged us and thanked us for picking up litters on the roads. It was a very humbling experience and simply seeing the smile on the faces of the people passing us made me feel happy and made it all worth it.
Not only was it such a great and rewarding experience we were also given free burgers at the SU bar! Too bad we weren't able to keep the T-shirts though.
