ON LAUGHTER<\/p>\n
The comedian Phyllis Diller said that a smile is a curve that sets everything straight.<\/p>\n
I have written in previous E Votionals how laughter is healing. Bad news fills our days, and we need relief.<\/p>\n
And I have quoted Psalm 2 that \u201cHe who sits in the heavens laughs.\u201d I believe that God enjoys a good joke and smiles at something that\u2019s funny.<\/p>\n
So from time to time I\u2019m going to forward to you humor about our situation that surrounds the Covid-19.<\/p>\n
A FEW THINGS I HAVE LEARNED FROM ISOLATION<\/p>\n
I was so bored I called Jake from State Farm just to talk to someone.
\nHe asked me what I was wearing…<\/p>\n
2019: Stay away from negative people. 2020: Stay away from positive people.<\/p>\n
The world has turned upside down. Old folks are sneaking out of the
\nhouse, and their kids are yelling at them to stay indoors!<\/p>\n
You think it\u2019s bad now? In 20 years our country will be run by people
\nhome-schooled by day drinkers\u2026<\/p>\n
This virus has done what no woman had been able to do\u2026cancel all
\nsports, shut down all bars, and keep men at home!!!<\/p>\n
Do not call the police on suspicious people in your neighborhood!
\nThose are your neighbors without makeup and hair extensions!
\nSince we can\u2019t eat out, now\u2019s the perfect time to eat better, get fit,
\nand stay healthy. We\u2019re quarantined! Who are we trying to impress? We
\nhave snacks, we have sweatpants \u2013 I say we use them!<\/p>\n
Day 7 at home and the dog is looking at me like, \u201cSee? This is why I
\nchew the furniture!\u201d<\/p>\n
Does anyone know if we can take showers yet or should we just keep
\nwashing our hands???<\/p>\n
I never thought the comment \u201cI wouldn\u2019t touch him\/her with a 6 foot
\npole\u201d would become a national policy, but here we are!<\/p>\n
Me: Alexa what\u2019s the weather this weekend?
\nAlexa: It doesn\u2019t matter \u2013 you\u2019re not going anywhere.<\/p>\n
Can everyone please just follow the government instructions so we can
\nknock out this coronavirus and be done?! I feel like a kindergartener
\nwho keeps losing more recess time because one or two kids can\u2019t follow
\ndirections.<\/p>\n
I swear my fridge just said \u201cwhat the heck do you want now?\u201d<\/p>\n
Quarantine has turned us into dogs. We roam the house all day looking
\nfor food. We are told \u201cno\u201d if we get too close to strangers. And we
\nget really excited about car rides<\/p>\n
PRAYER: GOD WE THANK YOU FOR THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER. FORBID THAT WE BECOME
\nSO OVERWHELMED BY NEGATIVE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WE MISS THE JOY
\nEVER BEFORE US, EVERY DAY. AMEN<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
