Don’t be so serious! Being s-e-r-i-o-u-s and being a Christian are not the same thing.
Can you imagine what a fun person Jesus must have been? I know he was fun to be around. He told good stories, enjoyed parties, liked to cook, and never met a stranger.
He entertained children, loved animals, and enjoyed the quiet of the garden.
When we think of the joyful side of Jesus, we are better able to lighten our own load. When things begin to weigh us down, we can try hard to remember to laugh.
“Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.” Habakkuk 3:18.
To “joy in the Lord” does not mean we escape reality, but we couple it with confidence in a loving God who loves to see us laugh.
Have a blessed day!
In Christian love Diane
