The Lord has given me a sense of humor, and with having 5 children, I am extremely grateful for that. Kids are forever doing things that can try our patience.
There was the night that my 7 and 4 year old boys were a little wild in bed and not falling asleep. My husband went in their room again and again to tell them to settle down. Finally, he had had enough, and told them that the next time he had to come in there he was giving out spankings. To which my 7 year old immediately, and a little too excitedly, replied "For free??"
Even my husband came out of that room with a smirk on his face.
This story reminds us that when King Solomon began his quest to discover the meaning of life, he believed that laughter was "foolish" (Ecclesiastes 2:2). But when he investigated further, he realized that God orders all things according to His purposes - that there is "a season for every activity under heaven" (3:1), including "a time to laugh" (v. 4). Sometimes you may discover that the most godly response is not one of anger or disapproval. You've entered a new season - a time to laugh.
