“We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.” – Mother Teresa
Shabbat Shalom!
I am sure that you have heard that old adage, that it takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile! Well, I believe it!
Smiles make two people feel good..the person smiling and the person receiving the smile! Have you ever thought how a smile from a stranger, makes you feel, as you walk down the street, enter a store, get on a plane, or even walk into services on Shabbat morning. More than likely, it is automatic! Or we hope that it is!
Smiles are welcoming. Smiles make strangers feel welcome. Smiles are what encourage women to join our sisterhoods and be join our network of Conservative Jewish women. Next week, well actually in 10 days, those of us attending convention will be all smiles. We will smile when we reconnect with our “sisters” that we have not seen in awhile..and we will smile as we introduce ourselves to all of our first time delegates.
It is a very simple thing to do…and I know that we will all do it! For those of you that will not be able to join us in person..you can smile with us anyway..at 6:00 PM on Sunday (that is east coast time) and then again on Wednesday morning at 10 AM…you can watch us all smiling at one another…our smiles are the easiest thing ti do, and they will have such meaning.
Wishing each of you a sweet, happy and peaceful Shabbat!
