God doesn't promise that we won't have trouble in our life. But He promises that if we love and follow Him, we will have joy and everlasting life.
The secret to facing each new day is to look at the positive things rather than the negative. Find joy in the small gifts...sunshine, flowers, children, family, pets, friends, and so much more. Start each day with a smile and laugh often.
It is a proven fact that those who laugh often life longer. Laughter is healthy, it is calorie free, and it lifts spirits. Take pleasure and enjoy life--the life God has given.
Negativity breeds negativity. Laughter breeds laughter. Both are contagious. Which would you rather have in your life?
Try smiling and laughing. Tell the devil to remove himself from your life. Tell him OUT LOUD. Then thank God for being with you and go into the day with a smile on your face.
God bless you and may your day be filled with much laughter and many smiles.

Kids, Humor, and God
I know God has a sense of humor. I mean, look...He created me!
My youngest daughter gave us many smiles along the way. When the family was together for a birthday gathering last weekend, we were reminiscing and this particular snippet came up.
We were riding in the car looking at all the Christmas lights one night and listening to traditional Christmas carols. Youngest daughter, who loved to sing, kept getting louder and louder, singing the verses to Silent Night...and this is what we heard. Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright, brown eyed virgin
And that's when the laughter arose. Non-plussed she asked, "Well, what is it? Brown eyed surgeon?" Yes, laughter once again. Thank goodness, she had a sense of humor and could laugh at herself, too.
One of my favorite grandkid stories with mixed up song lyrics happened when the boys were in our back seat and we were heading to dinner and a movie. The youngest was singing along with a country tune...can't remember the title right now...but it was about by-gone days, being young and carefree. The line talked about the funny clothes that were worn followed by: "Man, did we look cheesy." My grandson said he really liked the song and repeated the verse singing: "Man, did we love Jeesy!" Then he said, "I guess that's a nickname for Jesus, right?"
May you be blessed with a laugh, a smile, a fond memory.
