Just for Laughs

Today's Titter

Angry Wife: "I should have married the devil.

He would make a better husband than you."

Husband: "You would be arrested! Marriage

between relatives is illegal in this country."

I  love these jokes from our church newsletter -

squeaky clean- but funny and clever at the same time.

Sharing Our Joy

No infringement of copyright intended

Treasures In the Garden

How about adding some joy to life,embracing the 

little things we sometimes forget to find enjoyment in.....

Make a life that sizzles and pops and makes us laugh

out loud. We don't want to get to the end, or even to 

tomorrow, and realise that our life is a collection of

meetings, washing clothes, errands, receipts, dirty dishes,

and making beds.

We need to savour everything we eat, sing out loud in the car 

with the windows down, wear colourful shoes, stay up all night 

laughing,and paint the wall the exact same colour as the sky on 

a nice clear day.

Sleep on nice clean sheets,

Throw parties and share our joy,

Read books that are so good they make us sad when they end.

Make everyday day, such that it makes God belly laugh,

Glad that He gave life to us and we love

 the wondrous gift He has given us, SO much.  

My word for today is "JOY!"

I choose to live each with a heart filled with joy and love.

The Benefits of Friendship

In the sweetness

of friendship,

let there be

laughter and tears

and the sharing of pleasure.

Creating Memories

Treasures In The Garden

We create memories when....... 

Our greatest

memories

spring from the 

laughter, tears ,joy 

and love we share.

The everyday 

moments of life.

A Mother's Day Prayer

Treasures In The Garden

 

We would like to wish all Mother's a very Happy Mother's Day. And may all Mother's who have passed away enjoy eternal HAPPINESS.

A prayer we said for all Mothers around the world, in church this morning:

 

God of LOVE

listen to this prayer.

 God of holy people, of Sarah,Ruth a

  Holy Mary, Mother of Jesus,

bend down your ear to this request

and bless women of our families.

Bless them with strength of Spirit,

 they who have taught our children

how to stand and how to walk.

 Bless them with the melody of your LOVE,

 they who have shared how to speak,

how to sing and how to pray to You.

Bless them with a place at your eternal dinner table,

they who have fed and nurtured the lives 

that were helpless, but embraced in their LOVE.

 Bless the women of our families today,

now , in this lifetime, with good things, with health.

Bless them with joy, LOVE, laughter, and pride in our children

and surround them with many good friends.

 May the women who cared for young life

be carried one day to Your Divine embrace:

there for all eternity,

to rejoice with family and friends.

 This blessing and all graces, we pray,

 descend upon the women of our families. Amen.

Making the most out of life

Treasures In The Garden

Life is not about finding oneself. It's about creating oneself.

Four things we can't recover:

The stone after it has been thrown.

The word after it's been said.

The occasion after it has been missed.  

The time after it has gone.

And how about:

Laughter is the fireworks of the soul.

All good stuff to ponder upon.

 

My word for today is "CREATING!"

Soul Searching

No Time, No Time....

I knelt to pray, but not for long.
 I had too much to do.
 I had to hurry and get to work, 
For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer, 
 And jumped up off my knees. 
My Christian duty was now done.
 My soul could rest at ease....
All day long I had no time 
To spread a word of cheer.
 No time to speak of God to friends.
 They'd laugh at me I fear.

No time! No time! TOO MUCH TO DO!
 That was my constant cry, 
No time to give to souls in need
But.... at last the time to die.
 I went before the Lord,
 I came, I stood, with downcast eyes.
For, in His hands God held a book,
 It was the book of life.
God looked into His book and said:
"Your name I could not find.
I was going to write it down....
 But, I never found the time."

Freedom from within

Treasures In The Garden

 

The importance of Laughter........

 

LAUGHTER is the melody,
Like a concert from within ones heart-
a  tiny tickling from the angels, 
a really creative piece of art.

LAUGHTER is a healer,
 and a comfort to us too-
sometimes it gentles us,
and sometimes it's very Bold.

LAUGHTER is a freedom dance,
performed from within our soul!
                                              Soul Writings

........to lighten up our hearts.

Today's word  for me is "Freedom".

Making it more than a journey

Treasures In The Garden

Being positive.......

 

If our thoughts are positive ones....
sounds become like hearing music,
our movements become like we are dancing,
our smiles turn into healing laughter
our minds become calm like meditation
.... and our life turns into a CELEBRATION!
                                                                   Soul Writings
  

.......expands our life into more than mere existence.

 

Rise Above the "CRAP!"

Treasures In The Garden

 

There are four thieves of Laughter,

Love, Family, Integrity, Success, 

Satisfaction, Leadership, Passion,

Peace Solutions, Results, Maturity .......and YOU!

 

Cynicism....Resignation....Anger....Procrastination

 

Check for "CRAP ATTACKS" in your life!

Give them a name! See what they steal from you humanity.......

then get back into living your life!

                                                                                            Robyn Moore

What wonderful stuff we can have in our lives if we can only rise above the "CRAP"!

Laughter is medicine

Treasures In The Garden

Making laughter part of daily activity.......

Stop worrying- start living- 
explore possibilities in unknown lands
Take time for yourself 
- and laugh each day -
 life's gifts are in YOUR hands.

.......helps us heal in a pleasant way! 

Have goodtimes with your friends

Treasures In The Garden

 

Encouraging friends to eat good food too.......

 

Feed your friends good food with tenderness,
 gratefulness, encouragement and fun.

.......so they too can share in good health and well being.

 

There's nothing like a meal shared with friends, laughter and story telling,
to bring lightness of heart and happiness to being together.    

 

 

 

Making the story that is our life.

Treasures In The Garden

 

Fashioning our lives into something worthwhile and wonderful

I am hoping we can all go out into our world
 and let stories happen to us.
And when that is done that we will water and nurture them
with our blood, sweat, laughter, tears and love, till they bloom.......
till we, ourselves burst into bloom.
                                                                                                         Soul Writings

God and Nature fashioned us to what we are,
 and then through our own creative genius, 
we have fashioned ourselves to what we want to be!
                                                                                    Marcus Garvey

Let the creativity begin.........

An act of unselfishness

Treasures In The Garden

 

Having a good day.... 

 

If you planted hope in someone's heart
when they felt alone;
If you caused someone to laugh or smile
and chased away their tears;
If you lightened someone's burden
because you showed them kindness;
Then.. your day was well spent.

To Know when You Have Succeded

Treasures In The Garden

How will you know you have succeed in life?

 

To laugh often and much;
to be respected by your peers;
when you have received the affection of children;
when you earn and are appreciated by honest critics;
when you can endure betrayal by false friends;
when you can appreciate the beauty that surrounds you;
when are able to find good in other people;
when you can leave the world a better place than when you entered it,
whether it be by a healthy child, 
a garden patch,,
a changed social condition;
to know that even one life has been made easier
because you have lived and trod upon this earth.

  This is to have succeeded in life.

About friendship.....

Treasures In The Garden

How can we tell who is our friend?

The people we love
don't have to be exactly like us.
Life is too short for drama
and petty stuff.
So......
kiss slowly
laugh insanely,
 love truly,
forgive quickly,
and......
pray often! 

Friendship isn't about
whom you have known the longest
It's about those who came and stayed
 and never left your side and heart.

A Clean Sweep

Treasures In The Garden

An easy way to make a clean sweep!

 

Use laughter as a brush to sweep
 away the cobwebs that gather around 
and clog up the heart.

 

 

The sweetness of friendship

Treasures In The Garden

 

Turn the grey skies into blue

In the closeness of friendship

let there be laughter 

and the sharing of pleasure.

People, especially lonely ones,

appreciate a warm hug

and just a quiet friendly pat on the back.
