I think it's time to write in english because this lesson will help everybody to say "HELLO" and "SMILE". Last week I had to lead devotional in the morning so I spent 2-3 nights for the lesson. I thought that I wanted to do something different from others. This lesson just came up when I was thinking about Thailand "The land of SMILE". I just think that yeah...people should smile more because most smile are started by another smile. If we smile to each other then the day is your.
Eddie: "HELLO" everybody!!! How are you doing?
I have two words to teach you today. These words have a powerful meaning if you know how to use it. The first one is "HELLO". It is a simple word and everyone know the meaning of it but we always use this word as a tradition.
Do you know that a simple "HELLO" can be a sweet one especailly the one we love or care? The word "HELLO" stands for
H: How are you doing?
E: Everything all right?
L: Love to hear from you
L: Love to see you soon
O: Obviously I miss YOU...So HELLO Good Day!
There are many times that God always says "HELLO" to us but we just ignore it. We make the expression of our faces uninviting. God says "HELLO" because he cares for us. He loves us so much so he wants to know how we are doing, is everything all right? Do you need help with something? Are you struggling with something? God also wants to hear from us by our prayers, reading scriptures and spend time alone with God. God also wants to see us soon of course in Heaven. Sin separated us from God so God can’t be in the darkness. God always wants us to come back because he misses us so much.
How do we response to the people who say “HELLO” to us? Do we smile? I remember that many times people said "HELLO" to me but I said nothing back or I did not even smile back to them. When is the expression of your face the most uninviting?
I remember every time I get up and open the door then I always see Cameron but I seldom say Hello and smile to him because I want to go the bathroom and wash my face. When we see each other often instead of saying “HELLO” but we “SMILE” and that means a lot because it a part of your greeting.
The unknown author says some interesting thing about “SMILE”
“A Smile is the lighting system of the face and the heating system of the heart”
“The world is like a mirror; Frown at it, and it frowns at you; smile at it and it smiles too”
Talking about smile, once there was a girl who taught me how to smile(ill talk about that later thou)
Do we make the expression of our faces uninviting? How many times in each day that we say “HELLO” to the people we know? Do we really say “HELLO” to the people and using all these things?
I want to leave the scriptures with you because "HELLO" and "SMILE" are part of greeting in the Bible. It means a lot for people who receive these two words.
Luke 1:44
“When the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.”
I Thessalonians 5:26
“Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.”
II Corinthians 13:12
“Greet one another with a holy kiss.”
III John 1:14-15
I hope to see you soon, and we will talk together face to face.Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends, every one of them.
Of course the word “HELLO” and “SMILE” are part of your greeting and it’s easy to use but remember that use it with care and love.
I want to encourage everyone to say “HELLO” with love, show the people we talk to that we care for them, we love them, and ask them how are you doing? Everything all right?
