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  My joy and fun have been replaced by fear, anger, and stress..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 have served in the United States Army, gone to college, and received a Batchelor's Degree in Criminology. I married my husband when he was on active duty 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. I have been a wife for a lot longer than when I was in the Army. While we were stationed in Germany, my daughter, who is 23 years old now was born and I chose to put my career on hold to be a mom and eventually a homeschool mom. The past 15 years have been wrought with many struggles for various reasons, but it is as a result of those struggles that this blog has come about. As the years passed and the struggle kept coming, I would say to God, "I'm not sure why we have to go through all of this, but if we have to God, then allow my story to serve as a means of encouragement to others so all this pain isn't for nothing." Well, the years passed but the struggles never went away. I feel now is the time God wants me to begin sharing my story. It is my prayer as I share my heart that it will serve as a healing opportunity for you, my readers. Know you are not alone. There are hope and encouragement that waits.
