By chance I read the back of the ketchup bottle in the diner while waiting for my meal. If it's true for ketchup - that it makes people smile - how much more true it is for us! That we can make people smile.
Mother Teresa would often say that a smile is the gift we all have to give to someone else. World of tears, fears, loneliness, discouragement, despair. Feeling un-invited, excluded, unwanted, forgotten. Today is Lent's half-way point.
