Some people just have the gift of making other people laugh. My grandson, Kyle, is one of those gifted people. He has a knack for saying and doing funny things. Even when he was a little three-year-old, he made people laugh. His story is in the book, “Family Stories for God’s Glory,” entitled, “The Gift of Laughter.” You won’t believe what he said!

I recently lost a friend who consistently said to me as our visits concluded, “Go have fun. Find something to laugh about.” And he worked hard at living his life that way too. He was ninety-eight years old with multiple health problems, but he could still laugh.

Back to Kyle. He is a young man now and still using his gift of laughter. One way he does it is to trick someone, mostly gullible people like me. We are still laughing about the time he cracked us all up in the unlikely setting of a funeral home. That story is in the book too.

Laughter is good for you! God totally agrees. He created us to enjoy laughter. Keep on using your gift, Kyle, and making the world a little brighter place. Proverbs 17:22

Join me next week for another featured story from “Family Stories for God’s Glory.”
