Linger Where There is Laughter

Another workweek. Crises looming for some, others adrift, some in deep mourning. Some feeling an acute absence of the buoyancy of love.

Goodness, what a hurting world.

How do we feed our strength in the midst of this?

Linger where there is laughter.

Go back in your mind to the last place you experienced deep laughter, the kind that found a hallowed place in your memory bank.

Linger there.

I can't explain it but it might lighten the load of your day.

That moment of laughter is a gift of sweetness from God, like the perfect cup of your favorite hot drink.

Lingering where there is laughter perhaps gives God permission to hold your heartache for a moment, giving your heart a rest.

May your week have the blessing of laughter.
