funny faces for difficult days
/
One of the blessings of our family is that laughter isn't an option. It's just part of life.
For example, look at the pride in these two faces as they headed to Crazy Tie Night at AWANA a couple weeks ago.
Or consider Jocelyn's major concerns about heaven:
Or consider how Robbie managed to wear this much of his pizza without a smirk?
And this extends to adoptive families as well, like the family of my high school youth leader who welcomes us into their home, both the weekend of the picture below and this past weekend as they conveniently live less than 10 minutes from the site of the conference I attended. We can't spend time with them without laughing, and how sweet that time can be!
And while this last picture doesn't make me laugh, it does bring a smile to my face as I see this sweet image from our dinner Bible-reading time. How I love the leadership of my godly husband!

Or consider Jocelyn's major concerns about heaven:
- It will be too bright, and she won't be able to sleep because it never gets dark. And then she's be cranky and cry a lot. {Yes, we've tried to explain that she won't need sleep. Her response? "But I like sleep, and even if I don't need it, I will very much miss it."}
- She will have to have a new body, and she really, really, really likes the one she has. I kid you not that it took about 45 minutes to calm her down when she learned that she wouldn't get to keep the body she has now. {And if you've read much of anything over here, you know that I'm psyched about the new body thing. A chance to discard this worn, broken flesh with eroded joints, dead thyroid gland, and ineffective liver in exchange for a defect-free model? Yes, please!}

A joyful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
{Proverbs 17:22, ESV}
So thankful for the blessings God has placed in my life to bring joy to my heart!
