Life’s Little Blessing of Laughter
Life can find itself heavy at times and when this occurs, laughter can be the first thing to go thus robbing us from the joy and healing power it has over our lives.
Unfortunately, due to massive stress I have been under, I have found laughter is a blessing I have lost. My joy and fun have been replaced by fear, anger, and stress..
Our day started out unexpectedly at yet but another doctor visit which enabled us to visit our favorite nurse and doctor at the end of that appointment.
This was important to us because they provided my daughter with the most gentle and encouraging medical care one could ever hope for or be blessed by.

Laughter always comes about when this doctor is seen whether it is for medical help or by simply visiting him.
He has the amazing ability to bring humor out of the worst pain you could be experiencing or out of a quick stopping by to just say hi because he has become our favorite doctor out of all the doctors my daughter has been seen by over the past two plus years.
Thanks to this visit today, we were able to spend time experiencing the blessing of laughter and the healing power it has over the stress of our life.
It felt so good and I always walk away from days like this with the gentle reminder from God of the healing power laughter holds.
Thank You God for this unexpected blessing today.
We pray for many more with the very busy weeks that lie ahead.

I am a wife, mom, and daughter. I served in the United States Army, went to college, received a Batchelor's Degree in Criminology, homeschooled my daughter every year from start to finish, and now I am currently a daycare teacher's aide (soon to be a two-year-old teacher coming this fall).
I married my husband when he was in the United States Army so I have the unique knowledge of what it is like to be on both sides of a Military uniform.
While we were stationed in Germany, my daughter, who is 24 years old now, was born and I made the difficult decision to put my career on hold to be her mom.
The past 20 years have been wrought with many struggles but as a result of those struggles, this blog was created.
As the years passed and the struggle kept coming, I would say, "I'm not sure why we have to go through all of this, but if we have to then it is my desire to allow my story to serve as a means of encouragement to others so all this pain isn't for nothing."
The years passed and the struggles did not. However, I feel now is the time God wants me to share these stories of hardships with the hopes they provide encouragement to you if you are struggling in the same way. It is my prayer they will serve as a healing opportunity for you.
I want you to know you are not alone. There are others who know where you are and what you are feeling.
Cling to the hope this won't last forever and that God is standing beside you while He holds you up and dries your tears. He is showing you the way, you just need to follow Him.
Big Hugs, Heidi
