Seeing The Smile On Their Face


--by Happy7, posted Sep 4, 2011

I am so glad I found this site and I can't wait to use my smile cards. 

I went to the mall on my lunch hour from work, and  wrapped a smile card with a five dollar bill and left it on a pole in the middle of the mall.  I had some time so I wanted to sit back and watch who would take it.

I couldn't believe how many people walked by and didn't see it!  I prayed that just the right person would find it, that really needed some encouragement today.  My lunch was almost over so I was almost out of time.  I really wanted to see the person's face who found it.  Then all of a sudden two ladies walked by and one of them took the money rather quickly, and then I saw her and her friend read the smile card and then turn it over and read the back.  Then I saw a big smile on her face and she looked up to heaven and I think she said thank you.  Wow. What a wonderful feeling to see the smile on her face!  

I got up and went back to work.  There is no better way to make your day, than to make someone smile, and it is even better when you do it annonomously.  Thank you Helpothers.org for this website. I sure am having fun with those smile cards.  God bless you.
