7 Unique Ways To Make Someone Smile

Want to put a smile on someone's facial? Maybe make their day a little brighter? It does not take much time or money on your part. Indeed, many things happen as part of your normal routine and cost little or nothing. You will not know how many people are encouraged by your kindness because smiles are contagious. Try one or more of these 7 ways today to put smiles on their faces.

1. Write an encouraging note to others that have encouraged you or that need encouragement. Handwritten notes that are encouraging, not just to thank someone for a gift that is rare. That makes handwritten notes even more special. Start a new practice of sitting down and writing an encouraging note on a regular basis. You just might start an epidemic!

2. Take a friend out to lunch or invite her to your home for a meal. You will get to know each other even better than you do right now. If you want to be more adventurous, throw a party for several of your friends and put smiles on many faces.

3. Give someone an inspirational book to read. You will feel good doing it, reading the book, will change the person and they will think of you every time they read it.

4. Ask a friend or relative, if you can take care of their kid (s) for a day or evening. If you have a parent, you know the value of being able to have a couple hours of "adult time" without worrying about the kids. Do not wait to be asked to baby-sit when needed. Offer to do it at a time when parents can do something fun and relaxing.

5th Deliver a meal for someone you know who is sick or has a rough time. We've all been sick and knows the last thing you want is to be out of bed. There are also times when life is hard, and it is hard to do all the daily chores. You can be a tremendous help by providing a meal to be enjoyed.

6. Volunteer time to support your local church or charity. Every minute you dedicate to a church or charity will cause many smiles. You will put a smile on the face of each leader just for helping without being asked. You will also put smiles on the faces of those who are helped through the organization.

7. Thank everyone who supports you throughout the day. The list of those you come in contact with is endless. Remember family and friends, secretaries, assistants, teachers, Sunday school teachers, pastors, store employees, janitors, gas station attendants, those that deliver your mail and newspapers, and servers in restaurants.

We know that this is a list of 7 ways to put a smile on someone's face, but there is still a way that can not be ignored. Reveals a genuine smile to everyone you meet. You will experience how easy it is to get others to smile!
