Laugh at.......Yourself!
:)
Yesterday after Prayer with Nancy and Taina....Abby is still in the Caribbean....we went to lunch as usual.
During lunch we found ourselves laughing time and again.....at ourselves.
It seemed we were reminded in everything we were talking about.....how ridiculous our thinking was about so and so....or how silly we reacted to something that was absolutely frivolous.
We were having so much fun at our own expense that others around us in the restaurant would never have dreamed that we had just come from a very intense and serious ‘talking therapy’ with the God of the Universe.
We were having a “Very Real....Happy Hour”.
Actually, we felt so relieved that all the cares of the previous week was lifted from our shoulders and we were ‘free’ again.
We take seriously the verse in the Bible where Jesus said...
...“Bring your cares and burdens to the Lord and LEAVE THEM THERE!”
We have factually learned the last part.....leaving them with Him and not taking them back after we quit praying.
Also, we are learning to NOT assume ...how God will answer our prayers.
This is cause for much laughter among us.
God knows that we are a funny and hilarious.......human being!
We say and do some of the zaniest things you could imagine.....in the name of sincerity. Looking into the mirror of the past.....often times turns even the painful experiences of life .....into laughter.
Laughing at ourselves......is healthy.....I know.......I sure ‘felt’ better all afternoon when my crazy and delightful friends made me feel.......normal.....
Job 8:21....”He will yet fill your mouth with Laughter....:)”
