\"Free<\/p>\n

Have you ever met somebody with a painted-on smile?<\/strong> You know the kind — it involves the mouth, but doesn’t go all the way up to the eyes.<\/p>\n

\"Clowning<\/p>\n

A joyful smile isn’t like that. It isn’t fake or forced or only for show. A genuine smile starts from deep within the heart and spills over onto the face.<\/strong> There’s no stopping it.<\/p>\n

\"Clowning<\/p>\n

What’s more, it’s contagious.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Proverbs<\/p>\n

Here’s something to smile about<\/h2>\n

Last weekend, our son David married a girl with a contagious smile like that.<\/strong> She comes from one of the most joyful families I’ve ever met.<\/p>\n

She and her mom and sisters used to dress as clowns and entertain at birthday parties. What’s more, she can even juggle and ride a unicycle!<\/p>\n

So, unbeknownst to Bonnie, we smuggled a few clown noses<\/a> into the reception<\/strong>. That way, we could give Bonnie a proper welcome into our family.<\/p>\n
