LAUGHTER
Laughter is an audible expression or appearance of merriment or happiness or an inward feeling of joy and pleasure (laughing on the inside.)
The other day I took my two year old grandson over to mow the lawn on the riding lawn mower. I was just talking to him and telling him things and once in awhile I would holler yippee yi yeah if we hit a bump on something. The funny thing about it is how he would laugh, his little stomach was just bouncing from laughter and it made me laugh so he would laugh even harder!! It is so wonderful having a grandson.
I taught him to tell his mother this phrase...Huggin, Lovin, Laughin and Kissin is what you get at Gramma's house, We bake cookies, watch cartoons, and relax at gramma's house. It's the place to go to have fun!!! lol, it takes him a little coachin to get it all out but he will say it. I taught him to say a prayer at dinner the other night. He has been holding our hands, bowing his head and squeezing his eyes closed since he was a year old, but now he can say, Dear Jesus, Thanks for the food and bless it, Amen!!!
I think this is the most I have laughed and the most fun I have had in my whole life.

QUIET TIMES
Friday, July 04, 2008
Recently I have been going thru the book of Genesis really slow. I have really been getting alot from it. The first thing I got from Genesis 1 in the first chapter, is every human is a special being. I mean we were created by the Master, the Maker of Heaven and Earth, that is pretty amazing and the second thing was that every human is a spiritual being, God breathed His spirit, His life into us. Just the fact that God singled out man and created Him with His own hands and gave Him special care shows us there is a vast difference between us and all the animals he created.
Then onto Chapter 2 we see the very first surgery. God took a rib from man and made a woman, then we see a marriage made in paradise. The very first wedding and God teaching man his first responsibility, his view of what a man and woman's relationship is. Here God shows man a three step process, to leave, to cleave and to become one.
Then in Chapter 3 we see man's greatest tragedy, but in the midst of this tragedy, we see man's greatest hope. He disobeys God, he plays the blame game, blaming the woman for his problems. God wanted Adam to admit his sin, instead he made excuses.
I am already into Chapter 18 and I have gotten some simple revelations this time that have really stuck with me. I have read Genesis many times, but this time, I am taking it slow, slow, slow. I want God to show me something, to speak to my heart. I want to know Him more, so I thought maybe I would start at the beginning.
