Even a mask can't hide your smile

   One of the problems with wearing a mask during the pandemic is that it gets hard to recognize people.

But in case you haven’t noticed it, those who know you, still recognize you, even though you wear your mask. How is that? They can see your eyes!

   The old-timers say that our eyes are the windows to the soul. An artist who paints a picture takes great pains to capture the eyes because they reveal who we are and what we think.

   A person whose smile is hidden behind a mask still can bring joy to another person because the muscles that make us smile are tied to the ones that make our eyes crinkle. We can watch the crinkle around a person's eyes and tell that he is smiling with his lips that are hidden behind a mask.

   It’s kind of hard to hide joy and happiness. Even if a mask covers our faces our eyes tell the story.

   Proverbs 17:22 A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

   Even a mask can’t hide your smiling face. It shows the world the joy you have in your soul!
