Compliments!

The other day near the end of my shift volunteering at the local hospital, an elderly woman came up to me and told me that I had a wonderful smile. I thanked her and told her that was nice of her to say. She said to me, that every time she comes in for her appointments, she always sees me smiling and treating everyone nicely! I told her that I absolutely love working there and helping people out. She said that she could tell. You can't fake happiness on the job. If you love what you are doing, it will show. I thanked her again, and we parted ways. She headed out the door, and I went in to punch out for the day. As I was walking to my car, I got to thinking about that conversation with that woman.

She saw me smiling and being friendly to everyone yes, but what she actually was seeing, was Jesus shining through me to everyone around me. I am happy at my job there because Jesus put me in that position. I am happy and smiling all the time because I have Jesus in my heart, and I let it show. As I was thinking about that woman, I wondered if everyone else saw the same thing. If I was projecting the same image of Jesus to everyone?

I have a dentist office I go to every six months for my check ups. One hygentist there is always telling me how smiley and happy I am. I always thank her, and tell her whats not to be happy about. I am alive, I am relatively healthy, I have a great marriage and a wonderful daughter. God has provided all of this for me! Because of Jesus pouring his light into me, I am trying to shine it out where ever I go. Thank God for being able to do that!

My life is not mine, it is God's! I live for Him and Him alone. I try to do His will for me. I try to be obidient for Him. I am not perfect, but I am trying! Praise GOD!!
