No Joke

Through the years, there’s rarely been a lack of amusement in this house unless you're the Mama.  One of the jokers in this house (no one ever confessed to the crime) had carefully (and quite deliberately I should add) placed a rubber band around the kitchen spray nozzle to secure the handle in the down position so that whoever turned on the water would get sprayed. And, yes, that "whoever" was Mama – dressed & ready for work ... hosed down at dawn's first light!

 

Having a sense of humor must is a virtue, otherwise, God surely wouldn’t have placed me in the house with four practical jokers! Proverbs 15:13 says, "A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance."  It’s true, grumpy people just don't attract a crowd; neither do they reflect the Spirit of Christ.  The ability to see the humor in  the worst of circumstances and apply God's grace contributes to a beautiful spirit.  Days are sunnier and smiles more abundant, and that's no joke!
