I am Thankful for Humor

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

There is nothing better than laughter.

A good joke can release the stress that has been building up.

Q: Why did the belt get arrested?

A: He held up a pair of pants.

A funny situation can provide much-needed laughter.

Laughter can diffuse lighten the load.

When we can see some humor in something,

it makes it seem somehow a little better.

Sometimes, as we get older, we forget to laugh;

to see the humor in things.

Children naturally see the humor in situations.

This sign appeared after receiving almost 200 inches of snow.

I saw it and laughed.

We go through life like zombies and forget that some things are funny.

As I read through the Bible, I find many instances where God exhibits a sense of humor.

For example: In Esther, God has Haaman parade the one person he hates,

through the streets of Susa.

If that doesn't convince you,

look in the mirror.

People can be pretty funny on a regular basis...

well ok, I can.

Laughter is great medicine.

Experience shows that most things are not nearly as bad as we think

and if we can see the funniness in a situation it somehow releases our stress.

-when you totally say the wrong thing at the wrong time have a good laugh and go on.

-Or when you wave furiously at someone only to discover they aren't who you thought they were... have a laugh

-Or when you walk into the end of the aisle and spill your coffee see the humor and go on after you clean it up of course.

There is laughter that cleanses and laughter that heals.

There is laughter that makes the horrible seem somehow less bad

and more tolerable. How can we live a life of joy if we have never learned to

laugh?

There is nothing better than laughing with friends and family.

Friends and family who bring laughter with them are even better.

I am thankful that God gives us Humor. He wants us to laugh and be joyful.

Thank you God for Leading us

Thank you God for how you lead us. Like a shepherd leading his sheep. Sometimes through the words you spoke in the Bible, your written word. at other times, it was the wise words from friends, coworkers,or neighbors spoken at just the right time. Still other times it was a gentle tug, a whisper to our heart to move in one direction or another; intuition or a sixth sense that one way or another was right or wrong Yet, when I listened and obeyed I found the way was clear, distinct and easy to follow. You never leave us to guess which way to go. ...

Grow Old Gracefully

I’d like to tell you about a lady I visited yesterday. She is ninety-five years young. She recently moved into nursing home. She asked one of the workers how many times she would have to walk around the outside of the building in order to walk a mile. She said the person told her about ten. Then she leaned in really close and whispered, “I walked around twelve just to be sure I walked a mile.” Hahahaha! What a lady! She loves to keep active, even in a nursing home. As we talked, I saw no anger or bitterness in her speech or actions. There was only a love for God, a heart of compassion, and a sense of humor. She has befriended the one "prickly pear" at the home because as she said, “I have to love her, so she knows Jesus loves her too.” Wow!!! I need to live like that! I want to show that much compassion for those around me that need Jesus. She loved to talk about God and what he was teaching her. ...

What’s That Smell?

To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. 2Corinthians 2:16 Last break! The shift was almost over. Then the unthinkable happened, this man appeared out of nowhere wanting to know where the flashlights were kept. As we were on our way to the flashlights, I noticed that this man had a very strong odor. I thought perhaps I could get in front of him so that the smell would not be as strong. That, however, was not to be either since; he insisted on keeping pace and walking right beside me. By the time we got to where the flashlights were; I was practically running just to keep ahead of him. I showed him the flashlights and made a hasty exit. If you’re like me, you shower and even put on perfume or cologne so that you will not stink. We are concerned that the smell coming from our body is not offensive to others. As I write this, I wonder if we are as concerned with our spiritual aroma as ...
