Laughter is the best medicine

It feels so good to laugh. Have you ever had, and I'm sure you have at some point, laughed so hard your belly hurt? Have you ever laughed so hard you cried? I have, many times, but before tonight, I can't remember the last time I did laugh like that and it felt good! I had just got the kids to bed and sat down on the couch...I was going to listen to an online sermon from our church, but instead got a skype video call from my brother, sister-in-law, and sweet nephew. Their computer has some special features on skype that ours doesn't have...anyhow, Nathan was making his face look all contorted, something like a mirror in a fun house would make you look. Oh my, I laughed so hard, he kept making all kinds of different faces, and those of you who know my brother know that he can make some hilarious faces! We probably talked for 15 minutes, well, not talked, laughed. It was so refreshing and just what I needed. I'll listen to the sermon another time. I know that God knows what I need more than I do. And He knew I needed to spend "time" with family and laugh! I truly believe laughter is the best medicine. I feel refreshed and full of joy. By the way, I have an awesome brother!!

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13

  1. I can just imagine, what would we do without our funny boy! He has always been able to make us laugh through good times and bad. Love you both so much, you are my joys!
