Smile on the inside

There are some things that make us smile ~ Smile, on the inside.

A friend of mine mentioned these words to me and that got me thinking.
Been there?

It's an all together special feeling that I bet can't quite be captured by words. You just know it. Inside.

Like when you wake up to the song of birds. Listen to the sound of water flowing. Feel the breeze in your hair. Watch the sun gently slip beyond the horizon in a red sea. Look at the glow around the moon. Hear the rumble of thunder at a distance. Get a glimpse of a swiftly soaring eagle. Catch a shooting star or a rainbow. See a flock of migrating birds. Watch the foaming waves crash on the shore.
Or say when you find a treasure you thought you had lost. Have a good conversation with an old friend. Be hugged by a child. Get a book you where looking out for. Find an old photograph. Come home to your favorite meal. Have a beautiful dream. Read something that was just so apt for your situation. Find the signals turn green as you reach a busy cross section. A twinkle of the eye from a friend. And the quite feeling of knowing God.

That’s to name a few of these special, simple, secret and silent moments that leave you with a smile, on the inside!

Dear Mister God, this is @ina talking . . . You make me smile, on the inside.
