We had a fairly long wait at the hospital for Addisonās arm check up on Tuesday, and instead of being miserable and discouraged, we ended up telling joke after joke and laughingā¦a lot!. It was probably the highlight of the whole day, so when I got to IKEA and saw this display, I couldnāt resist the opportunity to tell one more joke.
Ecclesiastes 3:4 says that there is āA time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;ā
Solomon was looking at the cycles of life that seem inevitable, even without God in our lives. We will all go through some times of sadness and some times of happiness. But with God in our lives we always have something to be glad about.
Some seasons of life are hard, almost nothing but heartache and discouragement. But with God, thereās always something to fill our hearts with joy and even to put a smile on our face. So take the time to laugh together with your people and tell some cheesy jokes if thatās your thing. But above all, encourage yourself in the Lord and remember the joy that only He can give.
