God of joy and laughter is delighted by all of creation! God sees through the eyes of love and therefore is always amused by something. When we step back and take a breath we can be granted that same view. I find that a lot of my suffering occurs simply from taking myself too seriously. Yes, life is serious and there is a time and a place for reverence and contemplation. However, all of life is not suffering. All of life is not do or die. News flash, we are going to die at some point and there is nothing we can do to prevent it. The point is to enjoy the ride. Life is a roller coaster. It goes up and down and takes unexpected turns and twists, Sometimes it is super fast and other times it moves in a calculated slow fashion. Sometimes we see the bend coming around the corner and can prepare. Other times it will turn out differently than we expect. We can clench our teeth and hunker down, stop breathing and brace ourselves. Or we can let go, trust that the seat we are in will hold us no matter what, and scream out loud for the pure joy of it. My prayer for us today is that we be willing to embrace the amusements of life and go with God along for the ride. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
