"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."

'How are you?' is a question that can be superficial or sincere. At the end of the movie, American Beauty, Lester, the main character, was asked a question, "How are you?". He smiled back and told the enquirer that had been a long time since he was asked that question. What a sad thing! It reflected the sad stage of lack of human touch and concern.

We are called to be light and salt of God. We can bring God's light into someone else live by a simple 3 words 'how are you?' When asked sincerely, we touch another person live. We all need to be heard and be know that someone else is concern for us. Ask the question and don't stop there. Go further to know them, their joy and worries. As the conversation goes, let the person know you care. I think, 'how are you?' is a window for God's light to penetrate into someone soul.

Lord, may my 'how are you?' be sincere and seasoned with your salt and light. Amen
