SATURDAY! As you open your eyes this day, and go out into the day, just what do you have to offer the ones you meet, visit with, talk to,,, eat with, shop with , passing by others as you walk, run, or drive?
The answer is,,,, YOURSELF! and how you present yourself will leave an image in those minds that are seeing you, forever and ever in this world... so leave an image that you would approve of seeing in others as you pass them by.... A big smile, a real "howdy do, how are you" , (not the fake , quick smile, then back to the corners turned down type, but real and sincere), and when you do this, you will feel a warm feeling all over your body, and your mind will relax a little,, free up the stress, even if the others look at you funny, remember , there is One who is looking with a smile, and a howdy do, right back at you, and it is real and genuine..
So go out there this day, this Saturday, and all days, with a smile of real care ,,, and leave that lasting impression, of YOURSELF!
JUST TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL.. I ran into this scenario yesterday,,, at the Chronic Repair Shop at the Buick Dealership, in Griffin Georgia... I had a gauge showing that my battery was discharging, and going down quickly,, and I knew , being 35 miles from home, and really another hot day,,,, I would not make it home,,, and closing time was just 20 minutes away,,, the manager of the service department waved one of the mechanics out and to my truck,, he looked tired, but went right to work as he drove it in.. Anywhere else ,,a new alternator.. and I knew this , but he moved wires to see why it was not charging, and as sparks flew, he had found it, and guess what, ,the manger, and a fellow mechanic was right beside him, ready and willing to assist him. Well, he put the wire back on, and the manager said , "have a great day,, and "NO CHARGE",,".
He brought the truck to the front, and yes it was quitting time by then, but there was the two mechanics there when he drove up, and as he got out,,, all three was there and grinning ,,and shaking me , my wife, and my daughters hands and even my little two year old grand-son... then waving to us, and wishing us another good day!! Can you believe that , in this world ,, and one said ,,,"some things in this life are free, not all are done at a cost", well, thank you,,, you three guys, and thank God for that place,, and that attitude,,, just wanted to share , what smiles and a good attitude and a good deed will do...
May all of you have a great day, and please carry Jesus with you in all you do ,,for He loves to travel with His people, for He was sure in that truck yesterday, and on the way home, and yes we invited Him in for the night and for all times!!!

Still smiling!
