No matter what I’m going through I feel the urge to laugh when I speak to a brother in Christ—and now I know why—true fellowship reminds us that God laughs at our trifling fears.
Rembrandt, “Self-Portrait”, (1668)
Friday Thoughts: The Laugh’s On Us
I would rather think how God, the Good Shepherd carries me through the fears, even the shadow of death. God’s mercies are new each morning, giving me grace to carry on, showering me with compassionate love …better than laughs!
Let’s all laugh a bit more: Laughter is such a gift!
Our Lord never leaves us. My Jewish friends say, “Man plans, and God laughs!” But I just know it’s the laughter of a parent looking lovingly at her children. Our brotherhood in Christ is in many ways a festive experience. So, I’m laughing with you,brother!
