Here's an experiment: for one or two days, throughout the whole day, pay attention to your face. If you walk by a mirror, window, or shiny object, glance at your face, and notice what your face is doing. When you are resting, are the corners of your mouth drooping? When are your eyes sparkling like you have something fun in store?
Some people have a perpetual smile or grin. Others have a "down-turned" mouth.
I once did a funeral for an elderly man, who was quite positive throughout his life. I got to the viewing before the family arrived and stood before the casket. And I smiled, because the gentleman was SMILING! I had never really seen that before. I thought, "He knows the punchline of the joke!" Even in death, he was grinning!
A verse I read this week has brought me to an awareness of what is showing on my face:
"Those who look to Him for help will be radiant with joy. No shadow of shame will darken their faces." Psalm 34:5 (NLT)
How's your face today?
