THE GIFT OF A SMILE

Yes, I’m at it again. You should know that my pen is ever ready to share and today I’m letting you in on a little secret to a more successful and happy life; “the gift of a smile”.

Gifts are good and everybody loves to receive one. Gifts have a way of adding color to our day and lubricating our relationships. However not too many people give gifts, especially the inexpensive gift of a smile. Most of us are caught up in our busy schedules that we put on an “I don’t care attitude” as we ignore obvious pains and mind our businesses. Well, as believers, our God expects more from us. He desires from us a life of impact and compassion so we cannot but care.

More so, life is about value exchange. Whatsoever you give you get in increased measure. When we add value to others, we receive the same value in 100 folds. So when you give a smile, you enrich yourself. In fact when you give a smile often, you increase your chances of living longer, being more productive and looking younger.

Not only will a genuine concern for others and healthy interpersonal relationships rid us of the negative energy that impedes progress, it will also increase our chances of a better life. With every smile we gift comes endless possibilities.

One of my favorite routine every day is teasing and playing jokes with people around me including my friends on social networks. I derive fulfillment and inner refreshment from such interactions. You can enjoy the same. Tell a joke; create an aura of fun and excitement around you. Let hearts yearn for your company, it makes outreach easier. Be a source of life, be a light. Remember God so loves us he gave Jesus, if you love as He expects you to you’ll be a giver. I beseech you to start small by putting a smile on someone’s face today and every day.

2016 Review: Voke Ogedegbe: 2016, My Blessings And Lessons So Far

2016 would forever become a memory in a matter of hours. Before it rolls away, I want to talk about my year 2016. I entered 2016 oblivious of the fact it was a new year, this, was, consequence of a terrible breakup I had in the October of the previous year. The tears and pain that came with my broken relationship saw me through the first two months of the year and one morning in the month of March, I woke up, looked into the mirror, told myself I was beautiful and I deserved more! I really think, the old witch in my village had dropped my picture to use another she fancied more than mine to fan her bosom and that's the only reasonable explanation as to how I received sense that morning. For the first few months of 2016, I laughed, sometimes, too hard. This was an attempt to mask my pain, I put up a nice show - I should be an actress, I even deserve an Oscar. I didn't want the world to know my pain, I didn't want them ...

2016 Review: Ikpefua Joy, My Year Review

2016 Review: Ikpefua Joy, My Year Review Hmmm...Don't even know where and how to start from. 2016 has been quite a year. 2016 to me has been one of those years I enjoyed unmerited favour and grace. God has been faithful despite my unfaithfulness. Yea, I was written off...I have been trodden upon and yes, I've been told to my face that I cannot attain the heights I'm striving so hard to attain because I don't have what it takes...and sometimes I'd believed that.

And seriously, Allyreads has been a tangible blessing to me. Belonging to this family, is a treasure that I hold so dear...love them all.. Who ...

WHEN WILL MEN DISCUSS YOU?

T his question was thrown to us one Sunday morning during a sermon in my church. I don’t know how others reacted to this brainstorming question but it kept me thinking all through the week. I kept asking myself the same question repeatedly on a daily basis and each time I hear people passionately discussing about the life and success of others. The moment that question came at me, I knew I was guilty and that really got me disturbed. I then realised that I really have a lot of work to do in getting to the level where people will begin to discuss my name for my challenges, failures, and achievements. Some of us are just too busy concerning ourselves with the lives of others while ours is at stake. Sometimes we get really so engrossed about some individual’s success that we follow all of their daily activities. We know when they get their new car, houses etc. This can obviously be seen in football fans. Nigerians especially are too attached with foreign clubs and footballers. They k...
