What If They Laugh at Us?



An Inkling
What if they laugh at us?  None of us want to be the butt of a joke.
But on second thought, why not?  If your goal is to have it all together, or at least appear to, then there is no joy in being the butt of the joke.  But if you’re living in the grace of Jesus precisely because you don’t have it all together, then laughter at you is laughter with you – and, as it turns out, laughter with God.
Tim Hawkins has a marvelous gift for eliciting such laughter, as you can see from this video.  He has a bunch more on youtube.  Check him out, and find joy in being the butt of the joke.
What if they laugh at us?  Or more to the point, what if they don’t?!
Ha!
