CLASS SMILE
I am a mother of three children and has just completed
courses. The last class I had to take a
Sociology. The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities
I expect every person to have it.
Last task given to the students named
"Smiling". All students are asked to go out and
give a smile to the three strangers who met and
document their reactions. After that each student
asked to present in front of the class. I was
a jovial, very friendly and always smiled at
everyone. So, I thought, this task is easy.
After receiving the task, I rushed to meet my husband
me and my younger son is waiting in the garden in the courtyard
campus, to go to McDonald's kerestoran around
campus. The morning air was very cold and dry. As
My husband will go in the queue, I interrupted and asked
that he alone who accompanied the Youngest while looking for a place
sat empty.
When I was in the queue, waiting to be served,
a sudden everyone around us move away, and
even people who had been lining up behind me go away
out of the queue.
A feeling of panic welled up inside me, when he turned around and
see why they are all on the away? Turning
That's why I smelled a "dirty body odor" is enough
sting, was right behind me stood two men
homeless man who is filthy! I'm confused, and not
able to move at all.
When I looked down, my eyes accidentally looked at the man
The shorter, standing closer to me, and he
was "smiling" towards me. This blue-eyed man, highlight
His sharp, but also radiates love. He looked
towards me, as if he asked that I receive
'presence' that place.
He said "Good day!" still smiling, and while
counted the few coins to pay for food prepared
which will be ordered. I instinctively smiled back, and
I immediately remembered the 'task' given by the lecturer
me. The second man was playing his hand with the movement
strange stood behind his friend. I soon realized that
The second man was mentally challenged, and men with
blue eyes that are "helper" her. I feel very sorry
after knowing that it was in the queue now only
I live with them, and the three of us suddenly
had reached the front counter.
When the young woman at the counter asked me what
I want a message, I invite these two men to
first order. Blue-eyed men immediately ordered a "Coffee,
one cup Miss ". It was from coins collected only
that is able to buy them (have become the rule
restaurant here, if you want to sit in the restaurant and
warm the body, then one should buy something). And
apparently these two people just want to keep warm.
Suddenly I was attacked by a sense of compassion that makes me
had frozen some time, while my eyes followed the steps
they find a place to sit far apart from the guests
others, which almost all were watching them. At
the same time, I realized that all eyes in the restaurant
It also was drawn to me, and would also see
all the 'action' me.
I just realized after the clerk at the counter greeted me
for the third time what I wanted to ask me a message. I
smiled and asked given two packages of breakfast (outside
My orders) in a separate tray.
After paying all the orders, I asked another officer for help
in counter tray was to deliver my order
to the table / seat my husband and son. While I take
Another tray walked around the corner towards the table which has
selected two men to rest. I put
the food tray on his desk, and put his hand
I was on the back of his palm cold blue bemata
that, while saying "this food has been my message to you
both. "
Back blue eyes staring in my direction, now that the eye
starting wet glazed and he was only able to say "Thank
you very much, madam ". I try to keep my composure,
, patting my shoulder saying "Surely not me
who do this for you, God is also in the vicinity
here and have whispered something to me ketelinga
This food delivered to you. "
I heard, the Blue Eyes not touching and holding power
The second man hugged sobbing. When it wanted to
I grabbed the two men.
I was not able to keep from crying when I walked
leave them and join my husband and my son,
which is not far from their seats. When I sat down,
My husband tried to soothe my tears with a smile and
said: "Now I know why God sent you
be my wife, who must, to provide 'shelter' for
myself and my children! "We were holding hands
a few moments and then we are truly grateful and
realized, that just because the 'whisper' is we have been able to
take advantage of 'opportunity' to be able to do something for someone
others who are in desperate need.
As we were eating a meal, starting from the guests who
will leave the restaurant and was followed by several guest
other, one by one they approached our table, for
just wanted to 'shake hands' with us.
One of them, a father, holding my hand,
and saying "Your hand has been given an expensive lesson
for all of us who are here, if one day I was given
opportunity to him, I'll do as you have
demonstrated this to us. "
I can only utter "thank you" with a smile. Before
leaving the restaurant, I sempatkan to see
towards the two men, and as if there was 'magnet' that
Our inner link, they immediately turned towards us
smiling, and waving his hand towards us.
On the way home I reflect back what has been
I do about the two homeless men had been, it is a
correct 'action' that never occurred to me.
The experience that day showed me how 'the love
Dear 'God is very HOT and very BEAUTIFUL!
I returned to college, on the last day of school by
'story' of this hand. I gave 'paper' I told

My teacher was summoned to the front of the class, he looked at me and
said, "Can I share this story to a
other? "I gladly agreed. When will start

harunya feelings.
The end of reading the paper, the professor accidentally closed

"Smile with 'heart', and you'll know how
'devastating' effect caused by that smile. "
In its own way, God has 'used' to me
to touch people in McDonald's, my husband,
my son, my teacher, and every student who attended classes at night
