Christmas Wish #4

Have a Hilarious Christmas!!!!

 Then our mouth was filled with laughter,

And our tongue with singing.
Then they said among the nations,
“The LORD has done great things for them.”
                 ~Psalm 126:2

He will yet fill your mouth with laughing,
And your lips with rejoicing.
                  ~Job 8:21






God has a sense of humor.

I mean, He would have to in order to create funny creatures like giraffes and monkeys. I think of Jesus saying, "... how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye?" (Matthew 7:4)   I can just see Him laughing as He shook His head at the obvious hyperbole of His statement.

Last Sunday, my church stepped out of the proverbial Christmas box and presented a play entitled "Make Your Own Christmas Play" It wasn't quite as far out as the video above, but for our church, it was pretty unexpected.

Rather than a variation of the tradional Christmas Pageant (which my church does very well, I might add) we had a play which included a "baffled" co-narrator, the Grinch, a flamboyant wardrobe mistress, and even a surprise appearance from Elvis, who tried to pass himself off as one of the "kings"!

Everyone in the audience had a part to play as well. Depending where they were seated, they played the roles of "cattle", stars, kings, sheep, angels or shepherds, complete with "head gear" and props. It was a riot! Laughter could be heard from the pews to the rafters. And the gospel message was clearly presented by a guest missionary as he explained it to the Grinch.

Take some time to laugh this Christmas!
