Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light for my path. 

– Psalm 119:105

He will fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.  John 8:21

Given the current state of affairs, everyone seems to be offering advice.  Some of it is excellent and I’m doing my best to follow it.  Some of it is making me crazy so I’m ditching some expectation and lowering the bar a bit.  I actually wasted 15 minutes last week watching a tutorial video about how to look better during a Zoom call and another 10 minutes googling ways to make an interesting and captivating background for my online classroom.  Sheesh! I finally gave up and decided the ceiling fan coming out of my head and the wrinkles, gray hairs and extra chins would just have to do.  I’ve enjoyed being still, being prayerful, being peaceful, being quiet and that’s all great stuff but I realized the thing that’s missing is laughing…I haven’t read one article reminding me about the therapy of laughter.  Here’s a little something to start your week of with a giggle…

A pastor went out one Saturday afternoon to visit his church members. At one house, it was obvious that someone was home, but nobody came to the door even though the preacher knocked several times. Finally, the preacher took out his card, wrote out 'Revelation 3:20' on the back of it, and stuck it in the door: "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me.”  Revelation 3:20

The next morning, the card turned up in the collection plate. Below the preacher's message was written the following notation: "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.” Genesis 3:10

We were made for happiness and I am keenly aware that God has a great sense of humor; but right about now, I’m wondering how many of us still have ours in tact.  I want you to ask  yourself how long it’s been since you had a good laugh.  If you can’t remember or if it hasn’t been in the last 24 hours, then it’s time to remedy that.  We just gotta laugh so this week watch an episode or two of your favorite sit-com, ask your family to tell a joke at supper or start a text thread with a group of friends asking for a meme or gif that made them laugh.  Look up videos about giggling babies or funny pets, whatever tickles your funny bone but please for the love of all things complicated and scary, take some time to laugh. Our word for the week is LULL!  We are definitely in the middle of one, but today it  means, Lighten Up Laugh Loudly!

A Seed To Plant: LULL today, and tomorrow and everyday this week!​

Blessings on your day!

A priest, a minister and a rabbit walked into a bar. The rabbit looked around and said, "I think I am a typo."

From Good Clean Funnies:
Air Conditioning Broke
The Catholic Church's air conditioning broke down, so they had to hire a man to crawl around in the ducts and figure out what was wrong. As the man peeked down through one of the vents in the sanctuary, he saw little old Mrs. Murphy kneeling by the altar, apparently saying her rosary.

Since the man was a fundamental Baptist, he thought it'd be funny to try and mess with the lady's mind. In his best authoritative voice, he said, "This is Jesus. Your prayers will be answered."

The little old lady didn't even blink, just kept on saying her prayers. The man decided maybe she didn't hear him, and tried again.

"This is Jesus, the Son of God! Your prayers will be answered!"

Again, she didn't react at all. Mustering up a big breath of air, the man decided to try again. "THIS IS JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD! YOUR PRAYERS WILL BE ANSWERED!"

The lady looks up and says, "QUIET DOWN! I'M TALKING TO YOUR MOTHER!"

I laughed myself to tears last night while Jimmy and I messed around with Snapchat filters! Oh my goodness! If that doesn’t make anyone laugh themselves silly, I don’t know what will🤣🤣
