Studying in Genesis 50, Joseph never considered taking revenge on his brothers or those who placed him in prison. He didn’t hold a grudge but was kind; He was respectful and this influenced those around him. The Lord gave him great success in whatever he did. This day, let us do the same by being respectful, being kind, and blessing others with a big smile. In turn, this may inspire big smiles to be passed around the world on this beautiful Sunday.
Life can throw us for a loop
But we can always recoup
If we know that everyday
We are going the right way.
Lifting up with gentleness
And setting a precedence.
Supporting with kindness
To handle any crisis.
Influencing others
All sisters and brothers
Telling the kin
To hold up their chin.
Forgiving others for the hurt
By not getting in the dirt
But letting go of the past
And staying steadfast.
The past we did face
Has been handled with grace
So go the extra mile
And offer a big smile.
