Sorridi

Sorridi.... it means "smile" in Italian.

It is my daughter's motto. When she had her own vehicle, her tag was "SORRIDI"

In the  movie Modern Times, the them song was "Smile"

You may ask why you have to smile when you feel down, alone, and forgotten. Or when you are hurting, struggling, and have been betrayed. Or when you have lost a loved one.

The answer is in the lyrics of the song:

Smile

 Smile though your heart is aching

Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile.

As I wrote above, the answer is in the lyrics of the song: life is still worthwhile.

I know that we see and feel our pain and believe that what we are going through is hard and no one else has experienced it. However, there are people that have experienced it, they are still experiencing it, and they may even be worse off that we are. 

And above all, Christ our Savior has experienced every bit of what we go through, He knows our pains, He knows how to help us because He went through it all before us. We need to rely on Him. We need to bring Him our broken hearts and spirits and He will comfort us, lift us, carry us through it all.

It is my belief and prayer that each of us will remember to smile and to rely on our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ.
