Laugh Your Socks Off!

I use this phrase a lot because there have been times in my life that I feel like I’ve laughed my socks off! You’ve been there, right?

Just recently we were in the break room here at CBH. When I took out a cooked chicken thigh to warm up in the microwave, one of the employees sucked in her breath and said enthusiastically, “It looks like a turtle! Look! It looks like a turtle!” Until I could cut up the chicken, everyone was laughing and pointing at my meal. You had to be there to get the full effect but I laughed so hard, they laughed so hard, and it was great fun!

Laugher is good for your soul. The Bible tells us in Job 8:21, “He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with shouting” (ESV). In Ecclesiastes 3:4, we are told there is “a time to weep, a time to laugh, a time to mourn, and a time to dance.” There’s a time for laughter in everyone’s life, no matter what you’re going through.

Instead of a banquet this year, CBH Ministries is trying to instill laughter among families and individuals in the West Michigan area. We’re hosting a Comedy Night Fundraising Event on September 23 at 7:00. A very funny Christian comedian, Michael Jr., is coming to entertain us, challenge us, inspire us, and make us laugh together. Won’t you join us and plan on laughing your socks off with us! You can purchase your tickets here: http://www.cbhministries.org/ComedyNight.aspx

To learn more about the event and to buy tickets, check out our website. If you can’t make it to the event, please consider donating to CBH. We’ve got lots of projects and goals that need your support to happen! We’re praying that we can finish up programming for iToadU.com and develop new, Christian projects that will reach out to children and their families.
