In the afternoon of a work day, Shayna, a financial professional, walked into a bank to withdraw some cash. She waited in line to be called by the next available teller. She was welcomed by Ana, the bank teller, with a big smile. The name was visible on the tag she was wearing. People say, a smile is contagious, though  some people will give you a plastic smile, for reasons best known to them. This was however not the case with this charming customer. Shayna reciprocated and started talking about the nice weather, as the teller asked what she can do for her. Within 3 minutes, the transaction was done and Shayna was so pleased. She demanded to see Ana’s manager. The teller who thought Shayna wanted her manager’s business card immediately went to get it from her manager named Christopher. No, I will like to see your manager responded Shayna. I enjoyed your service and wanted to say a word to your manager about you. She said ” Oh! Thank you”. Within seconds, she went to fetch Christopher and Shayna expressed her feelings about Ana. The manager thanked Shayna saying ” Thanks so much for your nice feed back”. It means so much to me, because some people will give negative and some positive feedback. He concluded that he is not surprised by Ana’s world class customer service, she is simply awesome at her job. Ana was very happy and they all had a warm hand shake. Shayna left feeling happy that someone smiled because of her action.

Make people smile, whether you work for them or they work for you. It costs nothing.

Folks! how many people are going to smile today because of you! Remember!A smile is good and a frown is rude. Have a lovely and pleasant week.

Words itself don’t hurt, but it’s the person that says it that makes it hurtful. If it is spoken by someone that means so much to you, then it will have a great impact. Imagine your mum or dad saying ” I’m disappointed in you”,  It will hurt you deeply. However, if your neighbor or colleague says it, you may not feel it. Brethren! Think about the impact, if it is said onto you, then you will speak it well enough to others, no matter what.  Dear Lord! Make me say it in a way that is pleasing to You amen. Have a blessed  weekend and try not to hurt with your words.

 Any act of kindness is never small
On the beautiful morning of Sunday the 28th of May 2017, Kenny sat in the arena of the Gatwick international airport waiting to board a flight to Toronto, after a 4 days trip to attend the funeral of a dear friend  who lost the battle to cancer. May his soul RIP.  As Kenny seated waiting for boarding to commence, an elderly couple showed up and were looking for a seat. With their hand luggage and extra bags, she could tell that they were tired and needed to seat. At this time, there was an empty seat beside her and the woman quickly took that. she looked at the man who felt a little disappointed that there was no other seat for him. The flight was full to the brim because of the number of people at this boarding gate. Kenny immediately offered to give her seat to him despite the fact that she was very tired herself . He thanked her and sat next to his wife. They waited for about 20 minutes before the  flight was ready for boarding. Coincidentally Kenny was to be in the same zone on the air plane with this couple. They were the last set of people to be called, and so Kenny decided to go to the washroom and left her hand luggage unattended. By the way, this is not acceptable at the airport for reasons well known to everyone . She took longer at the washroom and behold this couple were already in line but the wife held on to Kenny’s hand  luggage waiting for her to show up. She released the hand luggage as soon as Kenny got there. she thanked her exceedingly. Kenny was so touched by the action of this elderly woman for the following reasons:
1. She didn’t tell the couple that she was going to the washroom, neither
2. Did she tell them to watch her bag. She couldn’t have done so for security reasons
3. They didn’t know the kind of person Kenny was especially considering the stereotype for Muslims as terrorist. This was very visible because of her veil.
4. They were white and she is black. There is a stereotype there.
The lessons learned are 
A. Little help counts, so mount them if you can. You will be rewarded in multi folds
B. Do not be stereotypical . There are good and bad people. Remember! A bad man will give a bad name to his race, even if the race consists of a host of angels.  A man is a man and a race, a race. Treat every human being as you want to be treated.
C. Do not be racist. We are all the same in the face of our creator. Black, white or brown;  we are a beautiful creation of God.
D. Accept strangers. Do not prejudge them. They are friends you just met and may be friends you will ever meet.
Folks! Please look for someone to show kindness to,  and God will show you His goodness in all areas amen. Have a blessed weekend.
