How funny! What a hoot! That's hilarious! Laughter truly is the best medicine! Through it our souls are strengthened, did you know a smile can add years to your life! It is almost impossible to remain angry when you are smiling. Try it. Plaster a smile on your grill and see how long you can truly be angry. I dare you. You can't! And even though you may not feel like smiling, do it anyway. Fake it till you make it! And before you know it, you will genuinely be happy. I want you to daily remember three things that just make you joyful! Psalm 126:2 says Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, "The Lord has done great things for them!" Does your affect', your demeanor say about you the Lord has done great things for them? I'm not just talking to you brothers and sisters, I'm talking to me.
So three things that make me joyful: 1. I am forgiven! I am redeemed and I am beloved! If you don't know the Love of Christ, you will never know true joy. 2. I live with my best friend! Rick and I get to have a slumber party every night, and I get to laugh and be completely nuts with him all the time. I really do think he's the funniest person I know, most of the time. Rick and our boys and I have a very weird sense of humor and I am thankful for their weirdness! 3. I have a set of girlfriends who are HILARIOUS. They make me laugh and sometimes snort! They are fabulously funny! And I am grinning just telling you about these wonderful blessings!
So try not to take yourself or your circumstance too seriously. You know the end of your story just like I know the end of mine. WE WIN! And don't tell me God doesn't have a sense of humor, he made me and you ;)
