God made laughter.
Every time you laugh...that's a gift from God. He alone created......the laugh. I'm glad He thinks about kinds of things like that.

Yeah, George MacDonald says it better. But, I didn't realize it until I laughed when I was alone in the car. Try it sometime. I mean, I'm still chuckling.I wonder how many Christians there are who so thoroughly believe God made them that they can laugh in God's name; who understand that God invented laughter and gave it to his children. Such belief would add a keenness to the zest in their enjoyment, and slay that sneering laughter of which a man grimaces to the fiends, as well as that feeble laughter in which neither heart nor intellect has a share. It would help them also to understand the depth of this miracle. The Lord of gladness delights in the laughter of a merry heart.

(Oh! and...this is one thing that helped make my day: I played a guy in ping-pong...intense game....and lost 21 to 12...but he said I was the best girl he'd ever played against. *grin* That just made me happy.)

Yeah...laughing is wonderful.
A bedroom and a dressing room? Girl, you are going to be totally spoiled rotten by the time I get back. Do you get breakfast in bed, too?
I miss you, too. I wish you could be here with me.
I like to laugh.
21 to 12? Against you? Wow!
Poor little GUY!?!?!?!
What about the poor sheila sitting in the corner as red as beetroot taking the minutes .... doesn't she get some sympathy!?!
Carolita, have you ever thought also that laughter is a form of spiritual warfare? A person who is laughing has given over to the moment and chosen to release worry and trouble for that time being ... the worry of the trouble seperates them from hearing from the Holy Spirit. Why is a merry heart such a blessing to the Lord and the recipient of the gift of laughter ... because a merry heart has cast all cares onto the One who not only would like, but desires that we cast them upon Him .. in fact He died for this.
Bless you dear ... I am pleased to have given you a reason to practice the gift!
-laughs-
Now that's good.
Funny. Our Sunday Evening pastor was saying bout the same thing. He likes making the congregation laugh cuz he says the devil likes to see God's children down and depressed...so we need to show a little joy and laugh.
I think we should all get together, sit in a room, and just laugh. Seriously. I think we may have done it at a meeting before. *grins* It works. ;)
I'm sure he was subtly insulting girls through that comment, but that was still sweet.
Unfortunately, you're no longer the best girl I ever played against. 5-11.
Not cool.
Yeah. We did Heather. It was your Dad's idea. We were all laughing for real before it was done.
