Brother Kurt, that was a hoot !! As a youngster I used to think that God had a huge microscope and was watching us all bump around and into each other like the ameobas we would watch in science class. I once heard a comedian say that as a child he thought God lived in the bathroom, because every morning he would hear his mother say "Oh, Lordy, are you still in there?"
Some things...even those that normally bring us pain...have to be taken with a sense of humor or we'll all go nuts. Laughter doeth the heart good like a medicine. I anxiously await hearing the humor of our Father who created us all with such Joy in His heart. It is in this attitude that I, too, find peace.
Brother Robert, please remember that love on earth can be a bumpy road. It is not all tea and scones, as they say, but sometimes our hearts have to be emptied in order that we are able to accept the fullness of what will be given to us.
Our prayers are with you. This is the day the Lord hath made...rejoice, and be glad in it !
