Psalm 126
"Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy..."
Let's be honest, life can get difficult. We spend a lot of our time getting caught up in the daily grind that is life. Work, school, boyfriends, girlfriends, parents, children - We all have commitments and we are all busy, all of the time. Amid the chaos are we giving ourselves a chance to stop and laugh? Are we providing ourselves the space to be in true fellowship with others where the to do lists are put aside and we are in community through genuine joy and laughter? Deadlines and expectations can certainly make this difficult, though when we provide ourselves with the time and energy to inhale deeply and exhale in laughter we are better able to shout with joy to the God who is laughing with us.
Think of a time when you laughed uncontrollably or a time when you laughed so hard you cried. Who were you with? What did it feel like to be so happy and carefree?
Listen to our laughter. See our smiles. Feel our joy. Amen.
