TEARS TO CLEANSE: Laughter To Heal!

Two Of Our Gifts Are Simple Ones: 

Tears ... To Cleanse 

And

Laughter ... To Heal! 

Why, Then, Are So Many Of Us Stressed Beyond Measure 

And

Stressing Out Others Beyond Reason!?! 

Why Are We So All-Fired Concerned 

About Who Should Or Could See Us Crying!?! 

Don't You Know That Laughter 

Won't Cause Your Face To Crack!?! 

Look At A Baby! 

It Is All Angry 

And 

In A Snap It Is Bawling Its Head Off! 

Mummy Or Daddy Holds Him Close

Utters Soothing Words Of Comfort 

And Soon

It Is Either Laughing Its Head Off For Joy 

Or Sleeping Peacefully 

Unbothered By The Past Upset! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Of Love, Our Jesus, Does That For Us 

So Let Us Cry Unto Him 

And 

By The Comfort Of The Holy Spirit's Working

Let Us Rest Having Been Refreshed! 

The Gifts Given

Are A Blessing ... Never A Curse

And

We ... Being Grateful

Should Freely Imbibe

As One Suffering A Great, Even Consuming, Thirst!

Let Us Laugh As We See Butterflies Dancing

Dust Bunnies Spinning

Leaves Waving

And 

Even As We Hear The Beating Of Our Own Hearts 

Telling The Story That 

We Still Have The Breath Of Life From Our God 

Which Makes Us Each One A Living Soul 

Able To Use The Daily Gift Of Faith 

Which Causes Us To Press On

Despite The Challenges

To The Great And Glorious Day That Heralds Peace! 

Our Lord Hears And Cares For Us! 

Let's Care For Ourselves 

By Using The Gifts Graciously Given With Gusto! 

Cry, Laugh

And 

Pray A Lot!
