"A joyful
heart
is good medicine..." Prov.17:22 |
We quickly learned after Kevin's injury that a good sense of humor is
vital in keeping us sane and victorious in the midst of the
trials. I knew we were going to survive when Kevin's older
brother gave him a "gift certificate"
-supposedly from Dr. Kevorkian - that was good for "one free visit"
...and we actually thought it was funny.
Trust
me, it's okay to laugh. You can only cry for so
long.
On this page we will be regularly sharing a few
day-brighteners
for your mental health. So sit back, relax, and have a little
laugh on us.

Ten Commandments
for an Unhappy Life:
1.
Thou shalt
wear a grim expression at all times, and thou shalt hold thy body in a
stiff and rigid posture, and exercise thy muscles as little as possible.
2.
Thou shalt never get too close to anybody.
3.
Thou shalt stuff and store all thy feeling in thy gut.
4.
Thou shalt put aside play, and shalt inflict upon others that which was
once inflicted upon thyself.
5.
Thou shalt remain logical and analytical whenever possible.
6.
Thou shalt go to as many "all-you-can-eat" buffets as thou canst.
7.
Thou shalt not party.
8.
Thou shalt not take a vacation.
9.
Thou shalt
expect the worst in all situations, blame and shame everyone around
thyself for everything, and dwell on the feebleness, faults, and fears
of others.
10.
Thou shalt be in control at all times, no matter what.

Heaven
goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out,
and your dog would go in.

My seven-year-old daughter
wanted to take violin lessons,
so I took her to a music store to rent an instrument. Hoping
that
she would understand the importance of making a commitment to practice,
I explained to her that the lessons were expensive.
I was willing to make the financial
sacrifices if she
promised to work hard. "There may be times you'll feel like
giving up," I said, "but I want you to hang in
there and keep on trying."
She nodded in understanding
and then in her most
serious voice said, "It will be like marriage, right,
Mom?"

A large bowl of Red Delicious
apples was placed
at the front of the cafeteria line at Asbury College.
The note attached read, "Take only one, please, God
is watching."
Some prankster attached a note
to a tray of
peanut butter cookies at the other end of the line that said, "Take all
you want. God is watching the apples."

Save a little money each and
every
month,
and at the end of the year, you'll be
surprised
at just how little you have.
