The Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland had a talent for
disappearing – leaving behind only his toothy grin. Some dear people in my life
have disappeared over the years, but I still remember their grins and smiles. I
can picture them doubled up with laughter, enjoying a moment. Those things I
remember, much more than frowns or tears.
Jesus told his friends that there would be trouble in this
world, but they should be encouraged because he had overcome the world.
Whatever my troubles today, Jesus has overcome them. That is reason enough for
a toothy grin which will last long after everything else fades.
