I remember my grandma telling me not to make funny faces or my face would stay that way. She was probably right, because my face has a road map of lines across it. Each of those lines can probably tell a story, but I like to think of them as a result of laughter. I’ve often found laughter to be the best medicine. Theres a ten month little boy in my life now. He is my great grandson. He is just beginning to form words that are familiar to him. I can’t wait to hear what he’ll have to say in a few months.

Kids are well known for saying things that make us laugh.  For example:

On the topic of Moses:

• His real name was Charlton Heston.
• He led the Israel lights out of Egypt because of the bad Pharaoh.
• God sent ten plagues on the Egyptians. Some of the plagues were mice, frogs, bugs, lice and no cable.
• Every day in the desert, God fed the Israel lights some manicotti.
• He gave them His “Top Ten” commandments. They were things like: don’t lie, don’t cheat, don’t dance, don’t smoke, don’t covet your neighbor’s stuff (whatever that means).
• He also told them to humor their fathers and mothers.”
• When my third child was born (named Joy) and I brought her home from the hospital with a tiny little stub of a belly button, my son thought we were singing about her at church services. You may have heard the hymn about Joy full of cord.
• The Bible reminds us to have a glad heart and a cheerful face, in Proverbs. There are so many things in this world that distract us from what is really important; things that bring us down and cause us to feel helpless and even hope. I think God has a sense of humor and loves to laugh with us. Life is too short to forget about the funny things in life.
