S.M.I.L.E.

To be:

S: Spiritually
M: Minded
I: Is
L: Life
E: Eternal

Words of wisdom from the Book of Mormon.  I believe it with all my heart.  To be carnally minded is spiritual death.  As I read these words during my scripture study I discovered the acronym SMILE that they spelled out.  Being translated from a different language the author had no intention to do this, but I love the "hidden" message. At least to me it tells me that as long as I put God first (be spiritually minded), I will always have reason to smile--come what may.  God's grace, love, and plan of salvation is open to even the poorest, most lowly of people.  As he said, ALL are invited.
