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.
It’s time for Midweek Mirth so let’s smile a little!
What’s That Sound?
“What is that sound?” a woman asked at a nature center.
“It’s the frogs trilling for a mate,” Patti, the naturalist, explained. “We have a pair in the science room. But since they’ve been together for so long, they no longer sing to each other.”
The woman nodded sympathetically, “The trill is gone.”
And now for the bonus …
An Encouraging Word
During the church choir’s presentation of a special choir arrangement, Mallory, 2, was engrossed in the music because her grandmother was singing. When there was a pause in the music and everything got quiet, Mallory called out, “Good job, Grandma!”
THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: Laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone. — Anthony Burgess
They look at me with widened eyes,
and think I’ve lost my mind,
seeing what the brain denies,
my teaching canines how to sign.
It’s needed now, my voice is gone,
so they all get sign-language names
and I think I can rely upon
the constant doggy love for games
to help enhance the learning curve,
and make them want to play along
with joy and gusto, and with verve
that keeps our bond forever strong
so that whatever comes tomorrow,
we’ll share joy, and never sorrow.
Blessed by your pups!
Oh, yes!
