Here are 4 simple rules to find smiles each and every day:

(1) Let it go…these words of advice came from the Chaplain at Elmendorf AFB last Sunday; it’s impossible to be what you need to be going forward if you’re held back by an obsession with something from the past; just let it go, and anchor yourself on the hope for tomorrow rather than any pain from the past

(2) Let it be…it’s more than the song; it’s actually wisdom; “and when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me, shine on until tomorrow, let it be”; whatever might be happening today that is causing concern or pain, remember the promise of things better tomorrow

(3) Let it shine…once you let it go and let it be, then let it shine; if the burdens of the past and the worries of today are removed, optimism should emerge and in your optimism others will see joy come from you

(4) Let it _____…once you let it go, let it be, and let it shine, then you fill in the blank!

For me, it’s “let it soar”! 

Isaiah 40:31 says:

For those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.

     They will soar high on wings like eagles.

They will run and not grow weary.

     They will walk and not faint.

So for me, let it go, let it be, let it shine, and let it soar.

Wisdom to find smiles by!
