Get Your Smile On!

How blessed were you who knew my son, George.  And for those of you who did not know him, I wish you could have spent a day or two with him.  Last night one of his best friends posted something George had written, I suppose his senior year in high school that was published I believe in the school paper. All of the departing senior football players were writing to their fellow players, bequeathing different thoughts to each of them.  

As typical of George's personality and style it was funny, sweet, honest, full of inside jokes.  And just SO George.  And I think that if he had known he was going to die just 11 years later and was writing to them right before his death, he would have left them with the same thoughts, and laughter. But having matured in his faith, he would have also left them with the importance of having a personal relationship with the Lord - not just the lip service kind.

And isn't it interesting how our loved ones who have passed on continue to speak to us in so many different ways?  We need to embrace that and look at it as a positive thing.  They have many things to teach us.  In George's case, last night, I was reminded of the importance of fun and laughter in our every day life.  And I was reminded of his own laugh.  Oh mercy, when his funny bone got tickled, and he started laughing, the rest of us in the room totally lost it.  His laugh was SO infectious.  

Take time today to do something fun, something that puts a smile on your lips and a song in your heart!  God is good!  Keep looking for that promised
