Now the newspaper is full of things we "should" do in the coming year---get fit, eat right, lose weight, make a bucket list, get organized, tidy up.
And the priest on New Years Day said, "Quit sniping and laugh more." That was it. That was the sermon. Well, there was a little bit more to it but the part I took out of the church was, "quit sniping and laugh more." What peace that would bring into my world if I quit "sniping" (criticizing) and laughed more? That means taking things--life---others---politics---people (some relatives!) less seriously and with more laughter.
Would more laughter make your life more peaceful?
When? How? It might take some focus to make this happen.
Will my children, my spouse, my co-workers notice a difference?
How will that look on New Years Day 2017?
Each day upon awakening can we ask God to give us the grace to laugh more?
Blessing--Penny
