God Delights in Laughter
"They named him Isaac which means "May God
Laugh in
Delight!" Genesis 18:12
Seven
things that must always be laughed at in life:
Laugh when people tell a joke. Otherwise you might make them
feel bad.
Laugh when you look in mirror. Otherwise you might feel bad.
Laugh with small children. It will improve your sense of humor. Have you ever noticed what children laugh at: mashed bananas on their faces, mud in their hair,a dog nuzzling their ears. Clearly nothing is as bad as it could be.
Laugh at situations that are out of your control: When the dog jumps through the window screen at dinner guests on your doorstep, when you find yourself in public wearing mismatched shoes. Laugh---as loudly as you can.
Laugh at anything pompous, at anything that needs to puff its way through life in robes and titles.
Laugh when all your carefully laid plans get changed:
when the plane is late, when the restaurant is closed, and the movie of
the year's last screening was yesterday

A mother told her young son to go to bed, say his prayers and ask God
to make him a good boy. The boy's father, passing by the bedroom heard
this prayer," and God make me a good boy if You can and if you can't,
don't worry, I'm having fun just the way I am.
A little boy went to dine with his parents at an elderly gentleman"s
home. After watching the man bow his head and speak in a soft voice, the
boy asked his mother, "What did he say to his plate?"
A young girl wrote in her church grade school: "Syntax is all
the money collected at church from sinners."
A pastor asked a young boy, "Johnny do you know where little boys
go if they don't put their money in the collection plate?" "Yes,
pastor', he said. "They go to the movies."
I stopped at a florist shop after work to pick up roses for my wife.
As the clerk was putting the finishing touches on the bouquet, a young
man burst through the door, breathlessly requesting a dozen red roses.
"I'm sorry," the clerk said. "This man just ordered our
last bunch." The desperate customer turned to me and begged, "May
I please have those roses?" "What happened?" I asked. "Did
you forget your wedding anniversary?" "It's even worse than that,"
he confided. "I broke my wife's hard drive!"
Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old
is when we're kids? If you're less than ten years old, you're so excited
about aging that you think in fractions.
"How old are you?" "I'm four and a half." You're never
36 and a half....you're four and a half going on 5.
You get into your teens; now they can't hold you back. You jump to the
next number. "How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16."
You could be 12, but you're gonna be 16.
Eventually. Then the great day of your life; you become 21. Even the words
sound like a ceremony. You BECOME 21....Yes!!!!!
Then you turn 30. What happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk. He
TURNED; we had to throw him out. What's wrong? What changed?
You BECOME 21; you TURN 30. Then you're PUSHING 40....stay
over there. You REACH 50.
You BECOME 21; you TURN 30; You're PUSHING 40;
you REACH 50; then you MAKE IT to 60.
By then you've built up so much speed, you HIT 70.
After that, it's a day by day thing. You HIT Wednesday...
You get into your 80's; you HIT lunch, you HIT 4:30.
My Grandmother won't even buy green bananas. "Well, it's an investment,
you know, and maybe a bad one."
And it doesn't end there.... Into the 90's, you start going backwards.
"I was JUST 92."
Then a strange thing happens; if you make it over 100, you become a little
kid again. "I'm 100 and a half."
Happy aging!
