the gift of having fun :)

Today at M.O.M.'s Group (a group some friends and I started at church for mom's with young kids) we made soap. We laughed and talked...shared similar experiences about life with children from a mother's perspective. It was great. I had fun. While in the middle of making soap I teased one of my friends and we smiled. And then it struck me this friend and I hadn't just had fun most of the winter. We had a blast while the sun was shining but then we have been trying so hard to not get cabin fever and get the kids out and about that we forgot to have fun and laugh together. Hmmmmmmm...I shall have to purpose to have fun, more often, with my friends :). It's good for the soul.

Children laugh all the time. Have you ever noticed that? There is a statistic about that out there. And the jist is that children laugh a WHOLE lot more than adults.

That made me think of 2 verses in the Bible...

5For an answer Jesus called over a child, whom he stood in the middle of the room, and said, "I'm telling you, once and for all, that unless you return to square one and start over like children, you're not even going to get a look at the kingdom, let alone get in. Whoever becomes simple and elemental again, like this child, will rank high in God's kingdom. What's more, when you receive the childlike on my account, it's the same as receiving me. (Matthew 18:2-5) and "A cheerful disposition is good for your health; gloom and doom leave you bone-tired." Proverbs 17:22

child-like, Tama
