In a world where sorrow
Ever will be known,
Where are found the needy
And the sad and lone,
How much joy and comfort
You can all bestow,
If you scatter sunshine
Ev’rywhere you go.
(Chorus)
Scatter sunshine all along your way.
Cheer and bless and brighten
Ev’ry passing day.
Scatter sunshine all along your way.
Cheer and bless and brighten
Ev’ry passing day.
Slightest actions often
Meet the sorest needs,
For the world wants daily
Little kindly deeds.
Oh, what care and sorrow
You may help remove,
With your songs and courage,
Sympathy and love.
When the days are gloomy,
Sing some happy song;
Meet the world’s repining
With a courage strong.
Go with faith undaunted
Thru the ills of life;
Scatter smiles and sunshine
O’er its toil and strife
I have been thinking a lot lately about the gospel and its principles. I think that we get caught up in things and forget the true gospel. The Savior spent his ministery serving as many people as he possible could.
We should be doing the same thing. Yes we do have homework, chores, jobs, church callings and family and friend responsibilities. But throughout the day you could be "scattering sunshine" as you do all of these things.
Hold the door open for the people behind you, smile, speak kinder, wish everyone a good day. When I think i remember to pray that I can see those around be that could use help, I see tons a people that I can help: Help the elderly find their cars, and loading their groceries, helping them get the higher stuff off the shelves. Letting the mom with sad kids in front of me in line, Saying hi to the neighbors. The list could go on and on. But when I take the few minutes to help it makes my day brighter as well.
I would council all of you to take 20 - 30 min out of your "busy" schedules and serve. Your day will go better.
Matt 5:16- Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.
