Not just another day

Today is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. I decided when I woke up today to spend my day wisely, to enjoy others, to consider for myself buying wisdom and to laugh. Laughter makes the heart glad and is healing to our bodies. It is interesting to laugh out loud in a room and see who will laugh with you and who will just stare at you. I am persuaded that Laughter is a good medicine that should be taken on a regular basis. It would not be unusual to find me holding my sides in pain as I laugh my way through corny jokes. Sometimes it is the joke teller I find the most amusing. Like my husband, we call him Papa now that the grandkids came along, I start laughing when he starts the joke because I can only imagine where the joke will go off course. There are sometimes varying versions that find their way into his joke telling. None of them are particularly funny in and of themselves, it is his weaving them into the joke that is so hilarious. Never mind, I am laughing as I write this, because I am remembering so many of the jokes where he blows the punch line. I am not a good joke teller myself, however, I recognize that fact. Only the Lord God Almighty knows all the stories of our lives and still smiles down upon us with HIS mercy and grace.
