God giggles. One of the things I miss the most from childhood are fits of giggles. Maybe its a uniquely girl thing but I remember times with my sister and my friends when we get an attack of giggles that we could not stop. Strangely it was rarely at an appropriate time and would get us into trouble. There is just something about life sometimes that you cannot help but laugh about. It is unfortunate that as adults we are discouraged from these kinds of moments of glee. In fact, if we find ourselves behaving this way, we chide each other to grow up and get a grip. Why? What’s wrong with laughing so hard your belly hurts? But glee is more than just giggles. It is a sign of delight in life. It is a recognition of the wonderment and mystery. Laughter relaxes us and reminds us to be in the present. It is no mystery that laughter causes you to take in fresh oxygen and expel energy. Sometimes a moment of glee whether in giggles or bursts of joy is exactly the thing that reminds us to be present in love.
My prayer for us is the willingness to engage our bodies, hearts and minds in a moment of glee today.
If God is gleeful, what might you be open to seeing as an element of glee in your life today? Share in the comments.
