A Warm Smile – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1865 of our trek, and it’s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today’s trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. So we are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today’s trek as we increase wisdom and create a living legacy. Proverbs 16:16 says, "How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver!" If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget. Today’s quote is from William Arthur Ward, and it is, “A warm smile is the universal language of kindness.”

A Warm Smile

This quote is so accurate. I am sure everyone has seen smiling faces of adults and children from every culture throughout the world. No matter the actual spoken language, smiling and laughing are universal languages. The reason for this is twofold. First, we are all of one race, the human race. There are not multiple races in our world. That is a lie fostered by Satan to cause strife between people. Yes, there are different nationalities and cultures, but only one universal race of people. The second reason that smiling and laughing are universal languages is that God creates everyone to image Him. As imagers of the one and only God, we have many more similarities among humanity than we will ever have in differences. Our purpose is equally similar: to love and glorify God and love each other as we love ourselves. So no matter whom you are with, even if they have a different level of melatonin in their skin or have different political views, we are to love each other. So share a warm smile and a good laugh with everyone you are with, and before you know it, you will be speaking the same language, even if you can’t understand each other verbally. Colossians 4:5-6 Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone. As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.
