need a light moment?

"Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.” Psalm 126:2

Disclaimer for today: My inspiration for writing devotions come from many sources... life experiences, artwork, conversations, events witnessed, etc.  Sometimes the messages are so straight forward, and i have no doubt they are meant to be shared.  And then sometimes, i feel they are a bit questionable or crazy... like today's. But maybe, just maybe someone needs a good laugh and a light moment of relief during these heavy, stressful times.  So, here goes --

Looking at our students' Fall apple artwork i felt my heart giggle.  
Not only were many of the apples splashed in unique colors, but some had "visitors".  A few particular pieces reminded me of a riddle from years ago.  It went like this:  What is worse than finding a worm in your apple?

                 

Answer:  Finding only half a worm!

See, what i'm saying.  Not sure if this is "tasteful" devotional material, but i found the chuckle i got from this silly thought, a refreshing break in life.  Sometimes, especially during difficult seasons, laughter serves as a needed dose of good medicine.  I can surely use a dose or two a day. How about you?

Laughter... it's good for the mind and soul.  Father, thank You, for providing and encouraging a spoonful of laughter.  I do feel better equipped to serve You and others with a glad heart.

"A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is crushed." Proverbs 15:13

"He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with shouting." Job 8:21

"A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance" Ecclesiastes 3:4 

we are loved and chosen by God, 

may we live like we believe it,
