Smile

Kimberly Howellby Kimberly Howell

A smile can always improve someone’s day. Find someone today and just smile. You might be amazed that they will smile back. This is a simple thing we can all do to encourage someone-smile. Even if you do not smile specifically at a certain person, smile while shopping, smile while driving, and smile while do things around the house. A smile is an amazing thing. Go give it a try.

I was born in 1967 and I have been living in sunny Whakatane, New Zealand since Christmas 2010. My husband pastors a church and it has been a delight living in New Zealand. We both are originally from Maryland, USA. I have been amazed at the beautiful landscapes and stunning wildlife, especially the birds in New Zealand. Many of the native birds visit our modest yard on a daily basis. I was blessed at one time to have several aviaries with finches. In 2021, I had surgery to remove my appendix which was filled with cancer and then breast cancer surgery and radiation. It was an interesting year. Prior to my surgeries, my husband had two back surgeries. I'm glad God knows best even if I do not understand all he is doing. In 2022, for 6 months, I traveled to the US to put my youngest daughter into college in Arizona. People I met, during this trip, spiritually lifted me up in ways they will never understand. I'm glad God is in control of everything. Resting, gardening, and reading my Bible are cherished pastimes. It gets my mind off everything. We all need those places we can go and get our minds off everything. A place that is encouraging and comforting and at the same time give a little pricking of the heart to keep us trying our best to serve the Lord. I hope this Blog will be such a place for you. A place to find encouragement and comfort along with a few smiles.

    1. The world needs to see a Christian smiling. When the world is falling apart, they need to see something different in us and it can all start with a smile on our faces even though things are falling currently apart world wide. Thanks for your lovely comments and references to hymns. I’m humming them now. Love our old hymns.
