It just takes a moment

June 23, 2026 Sharon Jacobson

It just takes a moment

Not everyone can be kind and caring,
not all of us can afford it.”
They said to me and then began ghosting me.
It doesn’t cost anything to be enriched,
or to enrich others.
Each day is filled with the opportunities
to enrich and be enriched.
The simple act of offering
costs nothing
and enriches all.
It just takes a moment to be compassionate,
and in that moment our compassion enriches
and enriches us.
Compassion enables us to
release our ego
and have empathy for others.
I don’t have to go through your pain,
but I can empathize with it
and be compassionate.
It just takes a moment to smile.
Smiling is not only contagious for others,
but enriches us as well,
filling our bodies with hormones
that make us happier
and it costs nothing to smile.
Loving words cost nothing,
but for some it can be like cold water on a hot summer day.
It can be as simple as paying a compliment,
or encouraging them and telling them
they can make it through
it just takes a moment to praise them
and tell them what you love about them.
It doesn't cost anything to offer help.
to say can I do this for you,
or can I do something to lighten your load.
Doing something simple like taking out the trash,
or listening to them and
allowing them to feel heard
enriches everyone.
it doesn’t cost anything to share your heart,
offer them time to listen,
to offer them a seat,
or to simply hold their hand.
None of this costs anything,
but offering of ourselves
enriches us and them
and all of it can happen
in just a moment.

Smiling
it’s such a simple thing.
It’s more than what one see’s.
When I see someone smiling,
I see their peace,
their compassion,
their joy,
and their connection to the Divine.
It is hard to smile on the outside,
when one is not smiling on the inside.
Maybe that is why so many
spiritual teachers smiled.
Smiling is a tool for growth
it brings us joy
and brings us to joy.
Smiling is relaxing
and releasing.
Smiling is a starting point
that opens the heart,
cultivating compassion for others.
In the hardest of times,
smiling can help us and others
catch a glimpse of heavenly peace.
Smiling is so much more than what it seems
it is an exercise and spiritual practice,
like yoga for one’s mouth.
It helps us look better,
less tired,
and less stressed.
Smiling is more then a smile,
it is a way of ministering to each other
and helping to spread the joy.

Smiling

Have you ever watched someone smile,
but it does not feel
like joy, peace, or happiness.
Sometimes you can watch them smile,
but it feels sarcastic.
Sometimes their smile reminds
you of how politicians and diplomats
smile at each other.
Sometimes their smile makes you want to leave
and avoid them .

Then there are those smiles
that brighten up a room.
There is something about their smile which is like
a breath of fresh air.
It may leave you feeling hope
fill you with their overflowing joy
make you share their happiness
or experience their piece

A smile is not just a smile.
It is a way of communicating
what is in our heart,
soul,
and mind.
It is how we share
the one who lives within us
and who wants others
to experience the love and warmth
all through a simple, but genuine
smile.
