God Definitely Has a Sense of Humor!

I think God definitely has a sense of humor!

Got questions.org says, “Perhaps the best indication that God does have a sense of humor is that He created man in His image, and certainly people are able to perceive and express humor.  Having a sense of humor is the ability to perceive, enjoy, or express what is comical or funny. According to this definition, then, God must show an ability to perceive, enjoy, or express what is comical.”

Humor has its place in the spiritual life. There are many religious people who tend to take themselves way too seriously. Humor is important because it helps us to understand how God views us and the world.

“Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, ‘The Lord has done great things for them’.”  ~ Psalm 126:2

Please bear with me because I would like to write about a story within a story. I feel that it will be quite humorous…well at least to me, and a few others.  I also want to make a disclaimer. I’m going to mention an undergarment in this blog; but, I feel that it’s not too offensive.

I was taking my youngest daughter, and a friend, to see Tim Hawkins and John Branyan. These two gentlemen are great Christian comedians. Their acts make for a night of laughter. I love the fact that they incorporate how God has a sense of humor, and give examples of thus.  I laughed so hard, that I literally cried tears of joy.

Prior to the show, the girls and I had gotten some frozen yogurt .  On the way to the church, where the show was to take place, my youngest turned and told her friend that I write a Christian blog.

With all seriousness, my daughter’s friend turned to my daughter and said, “Your mom does something with Christian bras?”

There was a pause, and then I began to laugh.  I had to apologize because I was really not laughing at her; but laughing at what she said.  I loved it! Then I had to expand on what she said.

I told the girls that was a great idea!  I mentioned that my oldest is a college student, and that she had left one of the particular undergarments mentioned at our house–while she was home for the holidays.  I thought for a moment, and then went on to say that maybe I should write a bible verse on the undergarment upon mailing it back to her.

Then we all laughed about it!  What a great idea!

I’m not trying to be disrespectful at all.  I’m obviously not really going to make a line of undergarments with verses on them; but, I may surprise my oldest.

I love the verse in Numbers 6:25.  It says, “…the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;…”  I was thought that would be a great verse to put on the under garment!  She loves the Lord with all of her heart, and has a great sense of humor to boot.  I think she would think it was hilarious!

A week after we went to comedy concert, I was picking my youngest up from play practice, when I saw her friend’s mom.  I wasn’t trying to embarrass her friend; but, I had to recount the conversation that had transpired just a week before.

To my surprise, the mom had a great sense of humor as well.  She followed up by saying maybe I should write a verse of protection on the undergarment. 

Hmmm!  I thought maybe I should write, “God protects us from evil.” ~ 2 Tessalonians 3:3  

LOL!

I’m sorry but I laughed so hard just thinking about it.  That was really funny!   I thought that the mom may be on to something.

Again, I’m not going into making a line of Christian undergarments; but, what a great laugh I have had recounting the story. I have yet to send my oldest her undergarment back; but, I still plan to do within the next couple of weeks.

Tim Hawkins and John Branyan even talk about how people ask them if God has a sense of humor.  They have both said that God definitely has a sense of humor.  You will have to catch their show to find out what they have to say, or check out their websites or videos.  They are definitely funny boys, and use their God given talents to make many laugh.

I’m thankful God made us in His image, and gave us a sense of humor to make our life here on Earth more enjoyable.  His word also states that, “A joyful heart is good medicine,…” ~ Proverbs 17:22.

Why not take advantage of the medicine God speaks of…having a joyful heart?  LOL
