God Has A Sense of Humor

As sure as I am writing this afternoon I believe God has a sense of humor. Look at His creation if you do not believe me. Recently I took my almost 30 year old daughter to the zoo. We had a great time, but I was capture by all of the amusing creatures God has created. There were some of the most ugly birds in all the world there. They had a face only a mother could love. There were some other funny creatures there as well. Long Neck Graffias and heavily plated rhinos. God was having fun when He created these animals. He must be humored by us humans a lot too. He chose us above all the rest of creation and yet sometimes we act like we have little sense. When you also add that we often act so badly I wonder if God just sits on His throne and laughs wondering when are we humans really going to get it? I have been around God's church for several years now and I have seen some of the best in people, but I have also seen some of the worst. Most of the time when I see the worst I just silently wonder is God amused or is He just saddened by this poor display of Christian character? I think most of us would agree He has to be saddened. So why not right now do something that will bring Him joy and cause Him to laugh? Invite someone to church. Volunteer for a time of service. Help out a neighbor. The more good we do the better we all will be.

Blessings
Pastor Dave
