Taking An Intermission From The Election!

Taking An Intermission From The Election!

I don't know about you, but I'm more than ready for a much needed break from all the election banter.

I'm tired of hearing and seeing the same television commercials played over and over and over.

A bit overwhelmed by all the comments, personal debates, sarcastic jabs, and downright hatred being posted nonstop on facebook.

Definitely time for me to take a much needed intermission from it all!

Oh, don't get me wrong  I'm fully aware of the monumental importance of this election.  

Trust me, I take none of it lightly.

Of course I will be voting.  In fact I have my absentee ballot in hand, and I will be exercising my privilege and freedom to vote within the next few days!

I will be carefully and prayerfully considering the candidates for all the various offices, the Justices of The Supreme Court, and the different issues listed on the ballot.  I will be checking my "local voter's guide" to obtain information to see where the candidates stand on certain issues.   

“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;  For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.  For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour.”
II Timothy 2:1-3

But just for a few moments, let's just step away from it all, and put into practice the following verse

"A merry heart doeth good like a medicine"
Proverbs 17:22      

So grab your favorite snack, kick back, put your mind in neutral and hopefully you'll laugh at least a little bit!

A mother took her three-year-old daughter to church for the first time.  The church lights were lowered, and the choir came down the aisle, carrying lighted candles.  All was quiet until the little one started to sing in a loud voice, "Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you...!"

When a mother saw a thunderstorm forming in the mid-afternoon, she worried about her seven-year-old daughter who would be walking the three blocks from school to home. Deciding to meet her, the mother saw her daughter walking nonchalantly along, stopping to smile whenever lightning flashed.  Seeing her mother, the little girl ran to her, explaining happily, "All the way home, God's been taking my picture!"

and talked out loud.

"You're not supposed to talk out loud in church."

Miss. Terri said.
"But who’s the fourth person?”
Kyle quickly replied,
"Oh, that’s Pontius-the Pilot!"

"Oh, they're really gonna get it now!  Oh, are they gonna get it now!"
Seeing nothing happening outside, I asked my son,
"Who's gonna get it?  What did they do?"
With all the seriousness of a three-year old, and pointing to the stream of vapor behind a plane in the sky,
he exclaimed, "The guy driving that plane!  Look at that!  He scratched the sky, and everywhere he goes he keeps scratching the sky, and is God ever gonna be mad at him!"

    Dear Barb, I could almost hear you giggling as you wrote all these jokes! I sure did smile - a lot!
    That verse is so true - a merry heart does do us good. It's been established that laughter does good things for our physical being!! We are not in the throes of elections here (that comes next year for us) - but NZers are taking a keen interest in what is happening/ what the outcome will be.
    Thank you for this post, Barb - it will cheer the heart of all who read! Sending love ❤️ and hugs across the seas - and prayers too.

    My sweet Linda, I was indeed giggling as I wrote out all the jokes and little stories!! I'm so glad that they made you smile ... A LOT!! It is so true that a merry heart does do us good ... well guess it would stand to reason that it's true since it's Scripture!!!

    Yes, I imagine all of the world is watching as we go through this election! I, for one, will be glad when it is over! No matter who wins, we KNOW that God IS ALWAYS in control, and I am so thankful for that truth, especially with this election upon us!!

    Sending you you buckets of love and hugs across the seas.
    Love ya my friend, Barb
