Christians Can Laugh Too!

We have been reading about people in the bible for the last few days that struggled with depression. For today I am going to defer from that subject and get back to it next time. I think it is so important that as Christians and those that aren't believers,  that we can laugh and joke and have good times even in the midst of the hard things that we are going through. That is not to say that I think that we have to always make ourselves look like we are ever joyful. Ever happy. For even scripture it-self speaks to this in Ecclesiastes 3:1, 4

To every everything there is a season. and a time for every purpose under heaven.

A time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to morn and a time to dance.

Truly, there is a time to cry and laugh. A time to grieve and a time to be joyful. This is one scripture that we, the church do not hear much from the pulpit about. And yet, there it is. In black and white. An important topic that needs to be let out so that we can also be taught that there is hope.

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. "The Lord is my portion" says my soul," Therefore, I will hope in him." Lamentations 3:22=24.



Indeed, our hope is in him.  Hope should be in  a part two in a sermon about depression, discouragement, grief and all the rest of what you and I face when we are troubled.

So anyway, for today I am going to add something to  Something to smile or laugh about. Or

share with someone else that may be having a hard day. Because, we Christians can laugh too! Despite our pain. Yes, we can laugh.

Acts 2:38

A woman had just returned to her home from an evening of church services, when she was startled by an intruder. She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled, "Stop! Acts 2:38!"

(Acts 2:38 says, "Repent and be baptized everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins.") 

The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done.

As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar: Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was to yell scripture at you."

"Scripture?" replied the burglar, "She said she had an ax and two 38s!"
