LOVING AND LAUGHING

4/4/2011

 
I have been away from my blog for a few days.  We have been busy with a Capital Stewardship Campaign here at our church.  But I have finally found some time to share a quick post. 

First of all, for those of you who are associated with our church family, let me say a special word of appreciation for the wonderful celebration given on my behalf this past Sunday evening.  It is hard to believe that God has allowed me to have ten wonderful years of ministry in this place. 

Thank you to all of you who worked so hard behind the scenes in making Sunday night possible.  Thank you to those of you who came, who brought food, who wrote cards, who gave gifts, and who otherwise expressed your love to my family and me.  This past Sunday night will always be a treasured memory for us.

The Any Griffith Show theme was a stroke of genius.  Kudos to those who thought it up, as well as to those who enacted all the characters of that beloved show.  We laughed together throughout the evening as we have not laughed in quite a while. 

In fact, I must say that the number one bit of feedback I have gotten about Sunday night is over people having never heard me laugh so hard.  I assure you, it was all authentic.  I could not contain myself; and even now, I get tickled thinking about it all over again.

Isn’t it great to know that God’s people can fellowship and laugh together.  The Bible says laughter does good like medicine.  How true.  And how healthy Sunday night’s experience has made me!  

Speaking of laughter among God’s people, I thought I would post a piece today that centers around that theme.  You may have seen a copy before.  Mine came from a dear church member. 

Some of these are old and some are new.  They all purport to be authentic, having actually appeared in church bulletins or else to have been announced in church services.  In any event, thank the Lord for all those dear, precious church ladies with typewriters from years gone by.  Enjoy…
