"How are you?"

This afternoon a man came to the door selling a newspaper and he said "Hi! How are you?" And, I guess, out of habit I said "I'm good! How are you?" And he said, I am great. Thank you for asking. Most people don't ask me that!"
I got my dad and I went back to what I was doing, but it got me thinking...What a shame! No one cares enough anymore to even ask a simple "How are you?". How would this world be different if we asked people how they were doing and not just asked them how there are but really mean it?
So, I know that this a short post but my challenge to whoever reads this is to be more conscious about what you say....and don't say. You can make someone's day just by asking "How are you?".

In His Hands,
