“A sense of humor… is needed armor. Joy in one’s heart and some laughter on one’s lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life.” Hugh Sidey (1927-2005)

This is TERRIFIC! I feel SO affirmed–thank you. And I need to write down this quote for the days when the armor slips a little! God bless you my dear–abundantly!
I was going to send this to Caddo! 🙂 Thank you for our joy lift today! God bless you and smile upon you!
thank you Caddo…we all need a bit of affirmation every now and then…God bless you as well…abundantly!

Blessings to you as well!
Thank you J it is good to be reminded that God gave us the gift of laughter yes to enjoy ourselves but also to pass on. I use to be known as Happy Annie but it was a mask I wore to cover up my hurt but now I laugh with others and enjoy good and kind humour but I also remember there is a time for everything and Jesus was known as a Man of sorrows and aquinted with grief, it is not a weakness to express our hurt and it is healing when we do… they say laugh and the world laughs with, you cry and you cry alone but Jesus tells us … come to me all you who are burdened…. being Happy Clappy all the time is not for real, it’s a mask to cover pain, but laughing from the heart lifts our spirit and others.

Yes Anne…all of our emotions are a gift from God…they are the conversations of our hearts. Now it’s what we DO with those emotions that often need to be purified. Yes Jesus was a Man of Sorrows but I too like to think of Him sometimes laughing with His mother or with the disciples or with the little children that loved to come to Him. True laughter like you say, comes from the heart, does lift our spirits and others. Abundant blessings Anne!
How wonderful to laugh for seemingly no reason except the sheer joy of being alive. Wonderful example of God’s happy creatures you posted here today!
Oh yes granbee laughing for the sheer joy of being alive…that is beautiful!
Hi J, I just want to let you know this week that I’m posting the rest of my Awards, I have already posted the Candle Lighting Award but even after I have posted them I can still add your name if wanted. I thought instead of nominating just the people I wanted I would give others a chance to choose the Awards they may want, so I have left places in the ones that are limited or when you can only receive them once … just leave your name or a comment on any ones you want or just enjoy reading them. Some of the Awards have rules some don’t there is even a fun one which I have nominated you for, thank you for uplifting me and for your encouragment, it is good to see in the Heart of J humour, you have a Godly balance.

Oh Anne I have gotten so behind on posting awards…I am so sorry…it’s not that I am not grateful…they are a precious gift. I just to need to sift through some of my posts so that I can aknowledge all the wonderful bloggers who thought of me. BIg blessings sent your way!
Hello, I got an email about a new post from you here–but when I clicked on “comment” it came up as an error with no such post. I’m bummed, as it looked really good (as always) and contained a quote I love–and wanted to talk more about. I wonder if I’m the only one having this “error”…. Anyway, God bless you abundantly.
Hmmm I was having computer issues with wordpress. Perhpas if you try again because now I think it went through. Thanks for letting me know Caddo. Blessings, Blessings, Blessings!
I’m a stubborn “fan” of yours, sister–of course I came back to see if the technical difficulties were resolved–and voila, they were! So, now I’m hopping over the the new post so I can remember what I wanted to gab about over there!!
And thank you again, for this one–as I reread it, and the comments, I got all weepy again (I know, the post is about “laughter”–oh well). Thank you so very much for being here!
Well I am blessed that you are a “stubborn” fan! Really Caddo it’s people like you who are so encouraging who bring out the best in others. Thank you for you…God bless you.
