Laugh

Laugh.
Laugh is not something we do enough!
I wonder why the life of an adult tends to have less laughter…
My mom recently had a friend of mine & my sister’s stay the night at her house. This friend and her husband have 3 children. I believe 5, 3, and maybe 3 months if that gives you any idea of how much fun was had by those lucky to be there! My mom told me it did wonders for her mood and carried all through the next week.
How simple. Laugh more. Smile longer.
A laugh just like a smile can do wonders for others.
What joy can be found in hearing others laugh! How unique that we all have a different laugh. It is so amazing how no two are the same. God knew we would need laughter and lots of it! All kinds of it!
How simple. Laugh more. More laughs.
Oh, and to help someone else laugh. To laugh with others. To laugh until your eyes water, your ribs hurt, and your breath is short. To laugh until you can’t talk, you can’t even whisper, and it hurts to smile since you’re grin has been stretched across your face.
How simple. Laugh more. Grin wider.
To laugh is to love, to give life, to share joy, to smile until it hurts, to make a joyful noise only you can make.
How simple. Laugh more. Lift praise.
Laughter is its own kind of medicine. There is no substitute for laughter. Laughter can awaken a soul & revive a heart.
Laughter can yield fruit from a barren wasteland.
Laughter can cover distance no otherwise traveled.
Laughter can love.
Laughter can forgive.
How simple. Laugh more. Live richer.

Five Minute Fridays

I follow several blogs, but there are only a handful I read daily including Rainmakers and Stormchasers, http://www.jennyrain.com/ . Jenny has a blog friend who does Five Minute Fridays where you write on a given topic for five minutes, post your writing unedited, and encourage others to do the same. Today’s topic was 'Remember'. Here's my unedited five minutes on 'Remember'...(What did you do on your lunch break?).... Remember...  I remember those times… with family and friends… Those long seemingly endless summer days at Memaw’s with my sister, brother, and cousins…I remember waiting on mom to come in for lunch…And those special days when Aunt Barb came too…Oh the days we spent at Aunt Barb’s…I remember loving… Then, there were those mornings before school where we all gathered around the breakfast table…Memaw always prepared a feast…we would argue over who’s turn it was to say the pray…but I remember all the other conversations were so good…I remember gett

Stay and See Jesus for Yourself

Recently during our Wednesday night women's class, we were listening to part of Priscilla Shirer's portion on the DVD series 'Unwrap the Bible'. We hadn't yet made it all the way through Priscilla's portion when I noticed myself writing these words in my notes, 'Stay and See Jesus for Yourself'. Now, I won't steal Priscilla's thunder or her great points. (I couldn't do it justice.) Let me just say, those words I wrote seemed to leap off the page at me: Stay and see Jesus for yourself. How often do I run ahead of God, too often! Still, at some point I seem to remember to come back to Him and ask for mercy, grace, and direction to walk His way instead of my own. How often do I hang back not willing to jump in to something He has for me? I think of a C.S. Lewis quote, 'There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.' I mean that's exactly what Paul tells us, right? For us to live is Christ and to di

Five Minute Fridays

It's time for Five Minute Fridays. No editing, no backtracking, and no over-thinking. Just writing for five minutes on a given topic. Join us. Today's Topic: Grit. Grit is the gumption not only to keep going when times are tough but to keep going with the determination that God knows what is best, and no matter what He will see you through this. The most important part of the endeavor is to realize not only is God leading you through your struggle, but He wants you to lead others, to set a Holy example, to love as Christ loves, and to come out stronger on the other side. Never resenting what you’ve gone through, but being thankful for the grit to keep going. Grit is more than continuing when others would stop. Grit isn’t walking blind or slowly moving through a valley. Grit is climbing towards the mountain top… Pulling others with you as you climb… Carrying more than your own load but that of your sisters’ and brothers’ in Christ... Grit is there when you physically,
