3 Gifts of Laughter

I love laughter. I believe it is good for the soul. I believe it heals. I love to laugh. I love to make others laugh. I believe God loves laughter.

115. The laughter I shared with Dalene, Ellen, and others during the fellowship time between Sunday School and Church. Such a wonderful feeling. Then during the sermon, when the full congregation laughed with Pastor Brad while he was telling of being at "home" during a family reunion. It is such a blessing to laugh with others at church.

116. Randy and I always have a good time and we seem to laugh a lot. Blessings from God.

 

117. One of my favorite movies is "Mary Poppins." In the past I've had the joyous opportunity to have "slumber parties" with my grands. We always watched this movie and had such good times. The boys have outgrown this fun time! we always have fun and it's so fun to hear the laughter. - And to laugh with with them.

3 Gifts Laughter

10.  The laughter of Randy and I while dating. - It had been so long since I had had good old fashioned laugh out loud times. It was so much fun. - the best thing - we still laugh. A LOT. I am so thankful for this man and the gift of laughter he brings to my life.

11. I love laughing with and about my Grandchildren!! Jack is now 16, so I've had 16 chuckle filled years with these kids! First - Jackson (I called him Jackson for so long - then shortened it to Jack), then Riley (which I mostly call Ri), Josie (which is really Ayden but I mostly call Jo), Ava (I call her Ava, Grace or Gracie) and the youngest, Alyssa (I call her Lyssa). I always tell people to look at a name good before you name your young - one way or another it will have a nick name! Which is kind of funny because I didn't "nick name" my kids. Heather was Heather, Holly was Holly, Tim was Timothy - until he became an adult and wanted to be called Tim, Jonathan was Jonathan until he started playing basketball and screaming JONATHAN took me too long so I started calling him Jay. His high school coach called him Jonny... So did the team mates and a few of his friends during that time but to me it's Jonathan or Jay. Ok, sorry, I've chased that rabbit long enough.

ANYWAY - these beautiful grandchildren have kept me laughing for 16 years. And it has been a joy unbelievable. 

12. "Laughter is the best medicine"  Who doesn't believe that? It's so true. I love to laugh - as they sing in Mary Poppins. Again- that is so true. A good laugh always makes me feel better. A smile during the day always lifts my spirits. I often say to people "you make me smile" - that is a great compliment from me because smiling - chuckling - laughing - so so important to me. It keeps me going - I love to make others laugh, too.

A good play on words always makes me chuckle. When my mother-in-law was in hospital y.e.a.r.s. ago, I found a card for her that I still remember because it was so funny to me. The front had a picture of a cow (cartoon drawn) in a hallway. Inside it said "Cow in the hall are you?"  for some reason, Anne and I thought that was the funniest card!! She still had it years later when her things were sorted and divided. - So now I have it back!

Laugh everyday, find the small funny moments in all things - and life will look up and so will you!!
