Most everyone knows a face that lights up a room. It’s a face you long to see, as often as possible.
I am blessed to know such a face. Whenever I see it, my heart leaps in my chest and I smile, inside and out. I awake every morning wanting to see that face. The vision of that face is the perfect start to my day. It inspires me to do much of all I do. It has affected me like this since I first saw it over 30 years ago.
One of my greatest goals in life is to keep a smile on that face. When it smiles, it takes my breath away and all is right with the world. To see it smile makes whatever I’m doing worth the effort, no matter the task, and it eases my cares.
The face I speak of is the face of my lover, my wife. She is still the most beautiful woman I’ve ever known or seen. She is, and always will be, my earthly reason for living. In fact, it is her face that led me to God.Should you ever find yourself having a rough time, do whatever it takes to put a smile on your lover’s face. I believe you’ll find this will make your day go much better. You can’t have a bad day when you turn your attention to serving others. And that is one of our greatest callings on earth.
Sooooooooo sweet, Bruce. It put a smile on my face too! And I am blessed with a wonderful husband too. God is so good!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristi. Keep putting a smile on his and His face:-)
DeleteThat's one of the sweetest things I've ever read! Your wife sounds like a real sweetheart, and I hope this made her smile (which, in turn, started that whole cycle of happiness in YOUR heart!)
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan. I know you're putting a smile on lots of faces with your servants heart.
DeleteWhat a nice post, Bruce. It's a great reminder that we always need to remain thankful...and delighted...for those special "faces" God brings into our lives. God bless you and your sweet wife. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Cathy. You put a smile on many faces, and now you have that special little one to add to the list.
