I am learning to appreciate the humor of children. The laughter that rings out sometimes for no apparent reason. Other times for reasons that you wish they would not laugh. Many times children laugh at silly stuff but it is always so funny to them. As parents, teachers and adults in general I think we should learn to appreciate the laughter of children.

It is amazingly freeing. It causes us to not take ourselves so serious. The laughter of children catches us off-guard. It allows our souls to roam, without constraints, into the jolliest places of our past.

While I write, my face smiles, as I remember my childhood laughs and the various reasons “why.” Yep…they were silly reasons but they were oh soooooo funny to me.

Let’s  learn to appreciate the humor of children. The next time you hear the laughter of a child, join-in and enjoy; who cares “why,” just laugh.

When you wake up on Sunday morning you don’t expect to be caught up in a phone conversation prior to church. At least I don’t. I like to wake up and chat with my wife, eat breakfast and prepare my mind and heart for my sunday school students. Just as I am settling into my normal morning. I had chatted with my wife, had just about completed my breakfast…then the phone rings.

I hesitate answering it, after I see that the number is from a family member in Ohio. I thought to myself “now, they know I go to church on Sunday morning, what in the world could be so important?” Then I thought, someone could be ill or perhaps d…no, don’t want to go there. I pick the phone up, it’s my older brother. He started talking fast and I could not understand, so I asked him to slow down.

What is it? I said. He slows down and shouted thanks for the greeting card. I almost said what card but then I remembered sending him a card full of faith verses to help him as he was going through some life issues. He was so happy. The thought of his happiness touched my heart.

He finally ended the phone call and I had just enough time to get dressed and leave for Sunday School. You can imagine how I felt. Also the conversation provided a good lesson for my Sunday School class. The greeting card sent eight days ago changed my brothers day for the better.

Everyday we have the opportunity to change a life with a smile, a kind word, a friendly handshake, and yes, a heartfelt greeting card.
