Smile!

 

My four-year-old granddaughter was looking at my cell phone when she asked, "Can I take some pictures?"

 "What do you want to take a picture of?" I asked.

She looked around the room, "I want to take a picture of Jesus."

 I smiled. "Of course, you can." (Like, I'm going to say no to that request.) She then proceeded to do a photoshoot of my picture of Jesus. I could hear her hitting my camera button repeatedly. "I think you got Him!" I suggested. "Let's see how you did." My granddaughter was all smiles as she showed me her pictures.

 "Should we send a picture to my Mom?" she asked.

 "Yes! Let's put it on Snapchat! (our family group chat). I posted the picture with the caption, "Isabella wants to tell you all that Jesus loves you!" I looked at Isabella and said, "Do you know what you are being right now?"

 "What?" she asked.

 "You are being a fisher of men!"

 "I am? I'm a fisher of men just by taking a picture of Jesus?"

 "Yep! You wanted to share Jesus with others. That makes you a fisher of men! The more you tell others about Jesus, the happier He will be."

 I'm sharing this story because we often get intimidated by the word evangelization. We might think that it is something others do, or we don't know where to start. I want to suggest you follow Isabella's lead this week. Send someone a picture of Jesus and remind them that Jesus loves them. You will instantly make someone smile. Evangelization doesn't have to be complicated. Keep it simple. We all know the little things in life make our day.
