Yes, He laughs!

I could have sworn there is a verse in the Bible that says laughter is good for the soul, but I cannot find it. However, I still believe the Lord loves to laugh and make us laugh...or me, anyway. I love a good laugh and I love to make others laugh. I've heard laughing described as 'internal jogging.' haha! I much prefer THAT kind of jogging to 'external jogging!'

Anyway, I have to recount to you a couple of times He made me laugh. About two or three years ago, I had laryngitis. I could only barely whisper. I could NOT talk. Well, our church has classes on Wednesday nights and dinner before in the gym. Well, this particular night, I sat with my friend Laurie and her daughter, Maggie. Another friend, Zee, sat down with us. Now this may be the onlye time I've ever had Wednesday night dinner with these particular friends. Maggie, I learned, after Zee sat down, was going to be singing a song in an upcoming children's musical at church. For whatever reasons, both Laurie and Zee had gotten up and I whispered to Maggie, "What are you singing in the musical?" She said, "I can't hear you." I whispered, "I'm sorry, I have laryngitis." She said to me, "No, that's the name of the song." I cracked up, even though I couldn't make any noise. Now, come on...there are millions of songs in this world, and the night I have laryngitis, this is the name of the song she's going to sing! LOL!!! I think He set me up on that one and had a good laugh Himself!

Then, a few days ago, I got in the car and a song was playing on the radio that I didn't want to listen to. I looked at the radio and it said 94.1, so I changed it to 93.5. Well, the VERY SAME song was playing and even in the same place! I thought, "Now this CAN'T be!" and changed it back to 94.1 to make sure I wasn't living in the Twilight Zone. Upon looking at the radio, I realized the TIME was 9:41...not the station! LOL!!! Again, I think He set me up! I cracked up and I'll bet He did, too!

Does He make you laugh, or do you not take time to notice? Pay a little more attention and let me know the next time He sets you up for a good laugh! Even Sarah said (Gen. 21:6), "God has made laughter for me; everyone who hears will laugh with me."
