One of the misconceptions about being a Christian is non-Christians think we don’t know how to have fun or have a sense of humor. Trust me, if the Big Guy can have a sense of humor when it comes to dealing with us mere mortals, so can we.

The difference for Christians is we don’t have to debase ourselves or others to generate a smile. Laughter at life or ourselves is a gift from God.

So, let’s smile a little!

The Haircut

A father was getting his hair cut at a neighborhood shop, and asked the barber when would be the best time to bring in his two year old son. Without hesitation, the barber answered, “When he’s four.”

Walk The Talk

For years, a couple had complained bitterly about the lack of sidewalks in their small town, observing often if only they had sidewalks, they would walk daily and become models of fitness. So they were thrilled when a community sidewalk project was announced, and watched eagerly as paving neared completion. Then wishful thinking and reality collided. “Well, dear,” the husband said. “What’ll we use as an excuse for not walking now?”

THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: When we surround ourselves with people who bring out our playful, child-like selves, we can laugh and love with abandon. – Beth Frates
