Would you like to know how to add more laughter to your day? After all, a good laugh is good for the soul. Would you believe I pray for laughter?

When life seems to get a little too serious, I ask God to send me a little laughter and silliness, and He always delivers.

Pray for laughter - God will deliver. Share on X

But brace yourself –  it most likely will come unexpectedly, and you might be the center of the fun.

One day I walked into my child’s classroom to have a tough conversation with a teacher who I thought was being unfair. Now I don’t like conflict, but I will stand up when I have a concern. I sternly voiced my matter, listened, and after feeling like we had heard each other out I left. As I was getting up from my chair, I grabbed my diet coke and marched right out feeling pretty good.

My concerned child, who was waiting outside the door, took one look at me slurping down my morning extra large diet coke and said, “Mom, where did you get that diet coke?” “We didn’t stop this morning and get you one.” “That is my teacher’s soda.”

I did what any embarrassed Mom might do. I hightailed it out of there. But boy, did we laugh that evening and I am sure the teacher did too. Most likely, I had been sitting there drinking his soda as we talked.

Last week Jennifer reminded me –

“Laughter is great medicine! It takes us out of our serious selves, out of our worries & concerns, stripping us of our inhibitions taking us back to childhood exuberance in the moment.” Jennifer

I hope you will hop over and read our featured post for today. It will not only convince you to add some laughter to your day, but it may get you giggling as you picture Jennifer jumping up and down. Jennifer has a lovely website called “Tea with Jennifer,” where you will find a cup of inspiration.

  1. Oh, that is really funny about the diet coke. ha. Those kind of funny things stick with us and can bring us such joy for years to come (once we get over the embarrassment, ha). 🙂

  2. Thank you Maree for featuring my post, I feel truly honored!
    I didn’t know what was what when I received your first message, so I just waited to see. I was delighted when I received your second message though 😉
    Bless you,
    Jennifer

    1. Haha – Oh, because I was calling you Pam. You must have thought I had lost it. It wasn’t until I went back to let you know did I notice I had written Pam. Haha – laugh is on my trying to do too many things at once. I loved your post. Thank you for sharing it with us. Maree

  3. It’s so true that laughter is good for the soul! I am blessed to work with some very funny people. I make it a point to sit with them and be social over lunch rather than continuing to work and eat alone at my desk. I think I’m more productive after having a laugh. Thank. you for sharing your funny story.

    1. You have inspired me to sit more with people who are funny. I am thinking of one friend in particular. Thank you for sharing about how you spend your lunch. Maree

  4. Oh Wow. Your story of the Diet Coke definitely sounds like something I would have done, haha. Laughter is so important in our lives. It keeps us from taking things to seriously and remembering that this life is only temporary. I can always count on my husband to make me laugh. It is one of the reasons I fell in love with him.

    1. Angela –
      How wonderful your husband makes you laugh. Mine does too, but his sense of humor is dry, so it takes me a bit to understand the joke. Maree

    1. Oh, Gretchen I too can be way too serious. I am in need of a little more laughter. I loved watching the video of you and your son dancing. Maree

  5. Funny story of the day:
    Thing 2: I’m glad dad is pitching in my game tomorrow.
    Thing 1: Just don’t hit any of his bad pitches.
    Me: LOL

    Thanks for hosting the link-up Maree! Tweeted. 🙂

  6. My husband often puts a comic spin on things. In early marriage, sometimes I was hurt because I didn’t think he was taking whatever the situation was seriously. Now I generally appreciate the breaking of tension and lightening of spirit laughter brings. I’m thankful for this gift of God and the many opportunities He gives to use it.
