A smile is an expression of an emotional pleasure inside a person. It is expressed by changing facial appearance to that of joy. It involves opening of teeth in expression of happiness. Using it idiomatically, we often heard that fortune smiles on someone. If fortune smiles on someone, it means such person is lucky for good things happening to him or her.
Sometimes an organisation could smile on an employee which may result in promotion, status elevation, appreciation, salary increase, receiving of gifts, moving from probationary employment to permanent employment etc.
How does God smile on someone?
God's smile on a person produces divine elevation, change of status, enlargement or lifting. It is like someone coming up from a miry clay to the position of honour. It is described as raising the poor out of the dust, and lifting the beggars from the dunghill and setting them among princes and making them inherit the throne of glory.
My outing this day
In my outing today, I was privileged to be part of the celebration of a family who could be truly said that is experiencing the smile of fortune. This is a family which has been raised from the position of abject poverty to a position of great wealth. I still remember many years ago when this man will move to far interior villages and thick bushes for days negotiating with the fulanis to be able to buy one or two cows for sale and come back home fully tired and spent.
Lunching into sale of building materials
Little by little, the sale of building materials commenced in a small scale, managing a shop with someone. Later the steady growth started with a link to companies of high repute like Lafarge, Toprite, Nigerite, Vitafoam etc supplying cement, roofing sheet, asbestos, nails, iron rods, toilet sinks, tiles, foams, mattresses and many other building materials.
Today's story.
Today, this company named Madel Glory in Iseyin Local Government has risen to repute. The company can now boast of many trucks, cars, houses, offices and different business outlets.
Today's celebration is that of the dedication of the ultra modern warehouse, shopping and offices complex. In fact this is the first of its kind in our land.
