Robert K. Greenleaf

“Purpose and laughter are the twins that must not separate. Each is empty without the other.” Robert K. Greenleaf

Psalm 126:2
Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them."

Romans 8:28 We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Ah, this quote from Robert K. Greenleaf is pretty easy to apply. Think about pursing your purpose in life only as you go on your journey…no fun, no laughter, no happiness. How would you keep on that path? What would the final outcome produce?  So purpose without laughter would be horrible!

Then, if you think about laughter that has no purpose…it’s not funny. It is kind of annoying actually. So do not separate the laughter from the purpose either. Below are two verses that give us permission to laugh and our purpose is to praise Him for the great things He has done. Then our purpose in God’s plan is working for good! Good includes laughter!

Take time today to focus on God’s plan for your life and add a little laughter to it today. To get you started I added a video I found on youtube that absolutely made me crack up. The American soldiers are trying to teach Afghan soldiers how to do jumping jacks. It is hilarious.  Enjoy! Please share with me funny video links you come across. It is great to start the day with something fun!
