Genesis 21: 5,6
Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him. Sarah said,
“God has brought me laughter, and everyone
who hears about this will laugh with me.”
What a miracle like none other.
Miracles still occur every day, if we are looking for them. Just yesterday my kids made it home after being
stuck on the highway in a snow/ice gridlock.
Any birth at all is a miracle in the making. The fact that we awaken each morning and
stand on our two legs is a miracle. Miracles
should, and do, bring us joy and laughter.
But notice here that Sarah says that everyone who “hears” about
her miracle will laugh with her.
I think the FB posts that get the most LIKES are ones where
friends post about a cool incident that happened to them or their family. People want to rejoice. They want to hear about the goodness of God
to us and ours.
Why?
Because it encourages them. Because it offers them hope that their
miracle is coming. Because life needs
miracles.
Laughter and joy are good for the heart.
Listen for the miracles told by others. Tell of your own miracles so that others can
hear them.
Then laugh. And join in with the laughter of your friends, and
invite them to laugh with you.
What a happy day that will be, when we all share, hear, and laugh
at the goodness of our God.
