Traveling story:
I was going through the security gates and the security officer said, “Why are you smiling?” And I responded with a smile, “I didn’t know it was against the rules.”
And he smiled.
I realized afterwards that it probably was odd that I was smiling. He probably doesn’t see smiling going on much especially now with all the high security and disgruntled travelers.
So the point of this story? Smile. The simple reason that God loves you is enough.

Hmmm…Smile huh? It’s crazy enough to just work.
You DO look a bit psychotic when you’re smilin’… ;]
hahaha it’s good to hear that he took it well <3

you DO smiling alot. it is a great thing. mother theresa said it is the best gift anyone can give to others. keep it going.
nice profile photo btw!
witty response Grace.
and you have a beautiful smile!
i’m sure you made his day just a little bit brighter
and i agree. we should always remember that God’s grace is sufficient for us. definitely a reason to smile…
its true..
i’ll admit that i first thought the security guard wouldn’t have taken too kindly to your comeback. next time i’m at an airport, i’ll put away my preconceived bias against airport security and try what you did.
i can totally picture you smiling right now! it makes me smile.
i saw you smiling a lot during joey’s sermon on sunday : )
yea…you do smile a lot, huh? that one profile pic w/ a straight face you had for a short bit was a little out of place.
anyway…nice story =]
foooor sure
“the simple reason that God loves you is enough.”
i love it.
thanks. yeah, actually, i felt bad for him cuz i was inwardly disagreeing with his style… so were the other (professional) photographers… we were kinda thinking, “where did they find this guy?”…
thanks for sharing your story, Grace.
there are definitely moments where smiling is the last thing on my mind, but you’re right. God’s love is more than enough to keep us smiling. hope all is well!!!
I enjoyed your story, noona. : )
