Shannon McCluskie uploaded a short video on TikTok, where he recites a poem about viral spread, he is not referring to COVID-19, but about how joy spreads from one person to the next.

“A smile can be very contagious,” he says. “You can catch it like the flu. Someone smiled at me today, and I started to smile too.”

What a positive video this is for all of us, we do not need to flood our minds and hearts with fear-inducing articles on the news, but we can choose to spread joy and smiles to everyone around just like Shannon McCluskie has done.

This is so sweet and wholesome.

Verse of the Day

“So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.”

Luke 2:16-20
