FAITH IS LAUGHING UP A STORM

“ A Merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones” Proverbs 17:22

Humor after all is impossible without faith. Because one is able to smile through their tears & laugh despite tragedy! Recently I got a new I-Phone. I was so excited that I got up early one morning to play with it and set all the applications into motion. Unexpectedly as I was sifting through emails etc. I saw this horrible looking woman. Her blonde hair was dry and unkempt it looked like a bird nest and her face looked wrinkled and puffed. Oh my gosh, I thought what an ugly woman? She was wearing crinkled old blue sweat pants and top similar to mine.

GOOD LORD MAN!

Oh Lardy! I then realized IT WAS ME! I had hit the FACETIME BUTTON on accident. Lardy, Lardy, I vowed never to use that feature again and to this day it is marked, DO NOT USE!

My husband talked me into buying a long blonde wig so that I could be much more sexy. When I tried it on, he said I looked like a women of the evening. When I tried out for a Senior Center event wearing it, before the performance I was shifted offstage by the director. She told me I was too sexy and not to bend over in my short nurse outfit, because she didn’t want any of the senior men to have a heart attack during my performance.

I fell down the stairs! and I didn’t need to dress up for Halloween this year. I had one large black eye so I went as a pirate! My black eye lasted for over a week and the reactions were astonishing. While in Big Lots a man screamed at me to DIVORCE THE CREEP.

I fell down the stairs, I replied. Yah I know he answered! DIVORCE THE CREEP! At my fitness club the Manager noticed me and told me He would beat up my husband for slugging me. I told him I fell down the stairs! He replied Yaw right!

Last week I chipped two front teeth. Yaw! Right before Christmas. All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth. When I got up from the Dentists chair I had Chair Hair. You know Chair hair a big gap in the back of your head of hair. I looked like the woman on FACE TIME. Then the dentist said, “Wow you have such a small mouth.” I told him that was funny….. my husband said I had a big mouth.

When I left the dentists I went to Walmart. I couldn’t speak because of the Novocaine and this guy Yelled. DIVORCE THE CREEP. Then in the checkout line the cashier told me I had chair hair.

In the face of tragedy I was able to find some funny. Today I will prove to the world that I am a believer! I will laugh up a storm in the middle of one. I hope you will too. With GOD all things are possible.

HAVE A DELIGHTFUL LAUGHABLE DAY!

 

You are Loved!

TEA FOR TWO
GOD & YOU

LOVE

LOVE is stronger, love is greater
Your love awakens me
We can fill our hearts with his love
Let us encounter his love
Let His love surrounds us
We need his presence

We need his love

These are words from a popular hymn sang in praise at church. Yet we sometimes fail to believe that God really loves us and that his love is deeper than our wishes for Romantic love.

God seems so far away when we are dealing with a problem or our hearts are broken. Yet, if he sometimes can’t seem to reach us he sends special people into our paths. Or we run across a scripture or message that speaks to our dilemma.

Several years ago a young girl was alone and felt so unloved. Checks were in the mail from her part time job, but there really wasn’t more than $10 in her checking account. She had drifted away from her childhood belief in God. I don’t really need him I can take care of myself. She didn’t realize that circumstances would change so quickly and her lucrative job would disappear.

There wasn’t any food in her refrigerator and even her small dogs had refused to eat the last of the steamed macaroni she had boiled for them.

She was hungry and nowhere to turn. Flipping through the T.V. channels she heard the message; the spirit of the Lord is around you. You need him. Let him come into your heart. She knelt down near her bed and called out to God in the only prayer she could vaguely remember from her childhood!

What happened to that God of her childhood?

What happened to her spiritual believes of his perfect love?

As she knelt and prayed, she felt a miracle happen and realized the Spirit of the Lord was near. She fell asleep.

Awakening the next morning she realized a difference. She felt a new presence. She felt his love. From that moment she decided she would pursue a relationship with her heavenly GOD. Perhaps then things would change.

At the mailbox that day a strange letter arrived with a beautiful card addressee unknown. As she opened it, to read a $100 bill fell to the ground. A miracle happened now. The spirit of the Lords is here. The evidence was all around. And there was money for food, and there was room for God in her life again.

She whispered to herself as she headed up the steps to her apartment.

He is Alive!
He is alive
