Lord keep me laughing, it helps so much in the trials, the pain and yes it even keeps me sane.
A captain of a ship was told in the midst of a fierce battle, "Sir, we are surrounded by fire on all sides!"
He quickly ordered his first mate to bring his red shirt as quickly as he could. He put it on and commanded his mates to fight on with all their might. They fought on and miraculously won the battle. Latter the first mate asked, "Sir, why did you ask for your red shirt in the midst of the fierce fight?"
"I asked for my red shirt in case I was shot. The red would have hid my wound, and my crew would fight on in spite of my wound or weakness."
"Ah Captain, what a courageous thought!"
"Yes and it worked!"
A few days latter again the first mate reported to the captain on board. "Sir, we are surrounded by ships on all four sides, and this time they all have missile launchers."
At this the captain hung his head. "I need you to bring me my brown pants at once!" ;) (: (Notice, a laugh or smile keeps friends close at heart.)
"You don't stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing." (Michael Pritchard)
Some of you have blessed me with your love and smiles for that I am eternally grateful! Thank you so much! Of all the possessions we will take into our eternal existence none of them will be anything materialistic. You will only take and leave love, music and what you've done for God.
Eternity will come sooner than any of us expect. Are you working for the right treasures?
"And He shall be the stability of your times. A wealth of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge: The fear of the Lord is his treasure."
Isaiah 33:6 (NASB)
