Smiling faces

I got back from the hospital a bit ago, had my MRI. They had me sitting in the back waiting room for hours waiting on blood work to say I wasn't pregnant and they could do the test. I saw so many people, whos faces keep running through my head. Two in particular, an old lady who I saw on my way in, asked if she was in my way, I was gladly taking my time behind her, she was using an arm cane, and I thought, if she is willing to walk though she barely could, I didn't mind walking behind her. I saw her again later she waved and smiled to me, told me she hoped everything was okay with me as they wheeled her back out to the main waiting room, I wish I had gotten a chance to say "I wish you're okay as well". Another a tall man, smiling face, he waved at me and smiled an I couldn't help but smile for the next few minutes, he reminded me of a man from the black churches you see on t.v. the ones where everyone is dancing and singing. Wonderful people who smiled at me, genuine smiles, makes you think about how much your face and body language can effect people. I pray I reflect Jesus more, because I know that a lot of times I don't. I pray that someday, I get to tell those people, how their smiles effected my day. My day was brighter, because of a simple gesture. I also pray, I never forget, how a simple smile can change someones world.

Lord, I love how you find me, no matter where I am.
