1. Take a friend for lunch or invite him or her to your home for a meal. You will know it much better now. If you feel like being brave, have a party for a few of your friends and put a smile on your face.
2. Write an encouraging note to others who have encouraged you or need encouragement. Handwritten notes given for the purpose of encouragement, not just to thank someone for a gift, are rare. That makes handwriting notes even more special. Start a new habit of sitting down and writing down an encouraging note regularly. You could start an epidemic!
3. Offer a letter of encouragement to someone. You will feel happy when you do, reading a book will change a person, and he will think of you every time he reads it.
4. Ask a friend or relative if you can take care of their children day or evening. If you are a parent, you know how important it is to be able to spend a few hours in “adult time” without worrying about the children. Do not wait to be asked to stay with a child when needed. Ask yourself to do it at a time when the parent can do something fun and relaxing.
5. Voluntary time to support your local church or community service organization. Every minute you donate to a church or organization that helps the poor will cause many smiles. You will put a smile on each leader's face for helping without being asked. You will be putting a smile on the faces of those who are helped by the organization.
6. Bring food to someone you know who is ill or having a difficult time. We were all sick and we know the last thing you want to do is wake up. There are also times when life is hard and it is difficult to do all the daily activities. You can be very helpful by providing food that you can enjoy.
7. Thank everyone for supporting you all day. The list of people you meet is endless. Remember family and friends, secretaries, coworkers, teachers, Sunday school teachers, pastors, store staff, security guards, gas station attendants, those who deliver your mail and newspaper, and servers at restaurants.
I know this is a list of 7 ways to put a smile on someone's face, but there is one way and it can be ignored. Show genuine smiles to everyone you meet. You will hear how easy it is to make others smile!
