Last week was holiday club and the theme this holiday club was Noah and the Ark, and the movie for the older children was Soul Surfer an amazing story, and even more amazing was the fact that I could tie each day of the movie into the same theme for Noah and the Ark, the movie even ends with a rainbow......... just like Noah we certainly serve an amazing God. This is the week when free of charge and child can come down to the church for the morning every day for a week, and we will feed them, entertain them and teach them. Our older youth become the teachers for a week, a lot of work, but a lot of fun and how amazing that we can share the Lord with children who do not know who he is.
The first week in August is our Woman's Retreat and the theme this year is Laughter...... we have got a laughter therapist coming to spend the first evening with us and I am now busy putting the whole weekend together.

I love to laugh ............... and am convinced the only reason I am still sane is because I can find something funny in everything. In fact I think that the only person who hated my laughing was my ex-husband when we went to funny movies or shows he would constantly be telling me to shhhhh.... shhhhhh.....ssshhhhh .............. which of course would just make me laugh more. So I have quite a lot to do in the next few weeks. I love that this ministry has grown and every year we get more and more woman who want to come, this year we are 38 so next year we will have to change venues as we have reached maximum numbers at this venue.

so what happened? this is a cliff hanger!
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by my blog :)
A laughter therapist sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteI hope the cookie worked!
I need to hear the end of that story! I can't believe you said that...
ReplyDeleteOh My God!! That is one funny incident. It is amazing how well you handled that.
ReplyDeleteI think being able to laugh is one of the best things that we are capable of doing. :)
How are you?
Now this is funny! I think it's awesome that you spoke up. Good job! My motto this year has been "just because you think it, doesn't mean you have to say it"..you just gave me a good reason to get a different saying! Thanks for the chuckle this morning!
ReplyDeleteFunny story about your ex and your laugh. I have a terrible "cackle." Especially when I've been drinking. cringe.

My X used to hate when I laughed too! He was only happy when I was miserable, so - now that's why he is an X! My present hubby of 9 years enjoys sharing a laugh and he is so comical - I adore his little pranks and jokes! He is good medicine for me!
ReplyDeleteThere is not excuse for anyone other than disabled people parking in those places. Good for you. A badge does not entitle him.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA I tell you honey it seems you have a MS Pearl too. Goodness you are one brave soul talking to a Officer like that but I tell you they so deserved it. I think you must of really shocked them so bad they had no come back for you.
ReplyDeleteNext time just take a picture and ask for their Captains phone number so you can send it to him by phone. hahaha
No excuse for their stupidity.
You know I love to laugh myself and miss it here lately but I rate it high on ways to stay healthy both mentally and physically.
Your ex misses that laugh now and I am so glad he does. I bet you have a wonderful one.
Love ya
