Laughter has no foreign accent.
Paul Lowney
All over the world laughter speaks the same language and accent. It is always good to hear someone laughing, smiling or chuckling.
GOOD MORNING !
I’m smiling this morning for sure. It’s Saturday and I don’t have to rush off to work this morning.
Dear Lord,
So far today, God, I've done all right. I haven't gossiped, haven't lost my temper, haven't been greedy; grumpy, nasty, selfish, or over-indulgent. I'm very thankful for that. But in a few minutes, God, I'm going to get out of bed. And from then on, I'm probably going to need a lot more help.
Amen
I love the little prayer above, because it is so true. All those things are problems I deal with every day. I really do need a lot of help.
Sometimes the seriousness of life can bog us down. Lots and lots of troubles in this old world of ours and so I’m sitting here smiling and hoping the good Lord blesses me with enough Sunshine today to make the world seem a brighter place to be.
When you think about it to be truly human and to be an encouraging type of person you need to have a good sense of humor.
Chuck Swindoll in the forward to the book Choosing The Amusing wrote, "Of all the things God created, I am often most grateful that he created laughter. How I love to have fun! In all honesty, I can hardly imagine a day spent without at least a few moments(preferably many) of sidesplitting laughter...either alone or with someone who can enjoy them as much as I.
Henry Ward Beecher put it this way: "A man without mirth is like a wagon without springs. He is jolted by every pebble in the road."
Laughter can keep a tense situation from ending in bitter words or hard feelings. Laughter is fundamentally an act of celebrating existence. Laughter is an expression both of enjoyment and of thanksgiving
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Give us a sense of humor, Lord,
Give us the grace to laugh and smile;
But check our lips from needless jest
That what we speak may be worthwhile.
Anon.
May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart !
