Laughter

We were sitting around brainstorming how we could best have an unforgettable baby shower announcement at church ... And that is how it all started.

The result, was four of us who met in the foyer at church stuffed pillows under our shirts and waddled our seemingly pregnant selves up the main aisle. The fact that this group of four contained myself the pastor, an 84 year old woman, a 67 year old woman and a 60 year old woman was just part of the fun.

You could hear the ripples of laughter move through the congregtion as people got a good look at us. By the time we reached the front everyone was laughing. We made the announcement, called the real pregnant woman up and had the chance to share some love.

As we waddled back down the aisle I was struck by how wonderful it was to laugh and laugh. And how fun it has been to find the plethora of questions that have arisen since the photos hit social media.

It is good to laugh. More than that it is healing to laugh. Scripture tells us that a merry heart does the soul good. It is so very true. I think it is time to laugh and laugh and laugh some more.
