FOR FRIDAY,OCTOBER 2ND, 2020
The moments of our lives may be bright with possibility, dark with fear or sadness, or even plain everyday gray, but God's glory never fades. May God's glory shine into the exciting lights, upsetting darks, and boring grays of your every day.

Today is World Smile Day which was created by a commercial artist named Harvey Ball, this day came about as a response to his creation of the smiley face. Harvey worried about the commercialization of the symbol would lesson its impact. We can hardly blame him for his estimation. The symbol has been used in many different ways including clothing, comic books, coffee mugs, and more. The yellow faces are more than just a symbol, they’re a statement about the power of smiling.
Popularity for this symbol exploded into a world of pop culture. It’s every artists dream for their work to be respected and repeated and few symbols have had quite the legacy that Harvey’s creation has had.
It’s become one of the most well know symbols in the world. In 1999 World Smile Day became an Official holiday in order to regain some control. The celebration aspects of day were simple yet effective. People were to use the day to smile and make small acts of kindness worldwide.
Keeping a sense of goodwill in your spirit all day is the perfect way to celebrate. You’ll have it in mind to keep an eye out for ways that can brighten someone’s day.Whatever small way you con positively impart someone, follow your instincts . You’d be surprised how much an acknowledgement can mean to someone.
While we use smile emojis in our digital conversations, we don’t always smile with our real faces. It’s always good to remember the benefits that real smiles are for our own well being too.
If you can’t see the bright side, polish the dull side
