Something Wonderful 17 - Smile

It is wonderful to know that in spite of the trials of life that we are facing, we still have the courage to smile.

They say that the Lord will never give us trial that we cannot handle.  It is during the face of such trials that we come to know ourselves more.  When are at our lowest, what we do and who do we become afterwards define who we really are.

When we are facing what we thought to be the scariest and life-threatening situations, we might be suffering the God-knows all sorts of pain and mental torture.  Waking up each new day and going to bed at night may seem like hell if answers to our trials are elusive and may deem some far fetch reality.  We might even come to a point that it is already useless to go on living.

But through it all, our life is valuable and sacred.  The moment we think that each new day is a gift to live, then, the more we should strive to face life more courageously.  May be, just may be, when all those tears are already drained and we no longer know to cry, a smile can make a big difference.  We might not be smiling our biggest smile or we smile because we are at our happiest.  But we simply smile because despite of our trials, we still remain standing and holding on.  And that wonderful moment when we learn how to smile again always makes a big difference.
