Just Laugh!

My pastor's wife Kathy leads the women's ministry, called Joy Ladies, at my church. We get together once a month to eat, worship, pray, hear the Word, and just encourage one another. I look so forward to it each month. I love the fact that we have women from age 18 all the way to 80 that come.

The theme this month was Spring. Kathy always goes all out every month. We met last Friday and she had beautiful flower arrangements all over the place, potted plants, seed packets, and Spring "stuff" everywhere you looked. It was beautiful!

Kathy shared with us that when God laid it on her heart to do this women's ministry he told her to "just laugh with the women!" That is exactly what we did. We ate, potted begonias to take home with us, worshipped, heard an awesome message, and then we divided into groups and had a Spring fashion show. Each group had different items to dress their model with like toilet paper, tissue paper, plastic bags, streamers, etc.. Let's just say that my group's model was very curvy! ( I wish I had taken pictures) As each model revealed her signature look on the runway we all laughed and laughed.

I got home that night and I felt so refreshed spiritually, physically, and mentally. Everyone said the same thing. The saying that laughter is good medicine is really true. I heard once that in the Bible days the Kings would have someone in their courts that they hired to basically entertain them and make them laugh. They had very stressful jobs and they knew the importance of laughter.

If you are around kids at all you notice how much they laugh and giggle. I think as adults we need more of that. So...I thought I would post a few jokes for you to read and I hope they make you laugh today! Do you have any good ones to share?

1. There was a couple that decided to get out of debt and budget their money better. So, the wife agreed not to buy any new clothes for a while.

One day she came home with a new dress and her husband said, " I thought we agreed that you wouldn't buy any more clothes!"

She said, " I know, but I saw the dress and Satan tempted me to try it on."

He replied, "Why didn't you tell Satan to get behind you?"

She said, "I did and he told me it looked better from behind than it did from the front!"

2. At Sunday school they were teaching how God created everything, including human beings.

Little Johnny, a child in the kindergarten class, seemed especially intent when they told him how Eve was created out of Adam's ribs.

Later in the week, his mother noticed him lying as if he were ill and said, "Johnny, what is the matter?"

Little Johnny responded, "I have a pain in my side. I think I am going to have a wife!"

3. A school teacher injured his back and had to wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body. It fit under his shirt and was not noticeable at all. On the first day of school, still with the cast under his shirt, he found himself assigned to the toughest students in school.

Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, he opened the window as wide as possible and then busied himself with desk work. When a strong breeze made his tie flap, he took the desk stapler and stapled the tie to his chest. He had no trouble with discipline that year.
