Remember being told ‘Don’t be so silly’ as a kid? Well here’s your excuse to ignore that instruction. This act is about the generosity of laughter – whether it’s raising a smile with a clever observation, cracking a corny joke or wearing something stupid – we make life a little lighter with humor.
Today’s Challenge:
Only One Traffic Light Today Cheesy jokes are our favorite (they’re brie-lliant!). Send it by twitter/facebook/snapchat/email/text or the good old-fashioned telephone, and make a friend smile.
[Jesus said,] ‘These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.’ John 15:11
How hard is it to make someone smile? A wink, a funny face, a joke are some of the ways you can get someone to crack a smile. In a serious place, they are also ways of getting a slap. Maybe that’s why so few people try to make others smile. They are afraid it may go wrong.
My challenge to you today is to risk it. Step out and try and get someone in your path to crack a smile. A smile is contagious; atmospheres change when a smile enters a room. It’s known to lower stress levels and I’m still yet to meet anyone who looks less attractive smiling than when they are not. The benefits of making someone smile outweigh the risks of getting a slap.
