Humour is an attribute that we always look for in a friend/spouse/pet etc… we’ll perhaps not pets :o)

However, it is probably not the humour we seek but the laughter it generates. We feel better when we laugh, it does weird things to us; releasing chemicals in our body that create a feeling of happiness as well as deadening pain. Marvellous.
Isn’t God amazing for creating laughter!

Humour is all about timing.
Trust me; I have thought of something funny (seriously hilarious) but at the wrong time and it created nothing other than pain and resentment.

My wife and I have a favourite film, The Royal Tennenbaums. In fact, regardless of what anyone else says, it is the best film ever. I think one of the reasons that we love it so much it because it can make you cry and laugh [out loud] all in the same scene. You see timing is everything:
“There is a time for everything...a time to weep and a time to laugh...” Eccl 3:1, 4

Our lives are all about timing.
None of us can use one word to describe our lives (well, except perhaps ‘exhilarating’) because we go through seasons; there are times to weep and yet this can never fully describe us because there are always times to laugh. Weeping only lasts a night, laughter comes in the morning.

You may be feeling as though life if full of weeping, too much to bear. But this is never how the story ends. Timing is everything; God will yet surprise you with a smile. Epitaphs are always too short to truly describe what God has done/doing in our lives. We may weep but we will laugh – salvation is ours, so laugh out LOUD!
