Three Smiles

By Joseph J. Mazzella • February 13, 2025

You see some amazing, beautiful, and wonderful things in this life, if you keep your eyes open. I saw one just the other day when I was shopping at the local grocery store to pick up a few odds and ends for my home. I had just turned the corner into an aisle with my shopping cart when I almost bumped into an elderly lady pushing hers. She was eighty years old if she was a day. What amazed me, though, was inside her cart was a baby in a car seat who couldn’t have been more than a year old herself. I started talking with the lady and found out that she was baby sitting not her granddaughter but her great-granddaughter. She told of how much joy the little angel was giving her days in these golden years of her life. I could see too the 4 generations of love flowing between them. Just before she left the great-grandmother reached down and tickled her baby. The baby girl laughed so joyfully that we both laughed as well.

I looked at them and saw the two smiles on their faces. The baby’s was toothless and shone from her chubby, cherub face. The old lady’s was wrapped in deep wrinkles from a lifetime of living. Yet, they were both so lovely. And as I walked down the aisle I passed a mirrored display and realized that my own face was smiling too.

H. Jackson Brown wrote: “I’ve never seen a smiling face that was not beautiful.” I have to say that I agree with him too. Smiles have a beauty and a power all their own. They are givers of love. They are conveyers of kindness. They are sharers of joy. They come naturally and easily. They are priceless yet cost us nothing. They connect us with ourselves and with each other. And each one brings us closer to Love, closer to Heaven, and closer to God.

Fill your days with smiles then. Let them flow from your loving soul and your happy heart. Share them with everyone you meet. And always know that God is smiling down on you too.
