Is There Humor in Heaven?

Does God sit on his throne all day with a scowl on his face? I don't know what it's like in heaven but here's what I believe: I think God has a smile on his face. I believe He see's the best in situations and if they're funny, He laughs. He doesn't take our lives too seriously but has a perfect perspective. He never laughs at anyone, He loves us. But I think He laughs at some situations. His optimism makes me optimistic and to want to look at the happy side of life. Life isn't perfect but why not make the most of a bad situation? Make lemonade out of lemons.

I'm a serious person and when I get too serious Per says or does something funny. I appreciate his humor because he gets me to lighten up and to change my mood. I've said this quote before, "I'd rather laugh than cry, crying gives me a headache". I believe that laughing makes things better. I'm not saying that anyone should bury their head in the sand and avoid reality, all I'm saying is that once reality is known I have a choice to either make the most of it (lemonade) or be sad (lemons). Why not go for the sweet instead of the sour? Besides, it tastes better.

I hope there's humor in heaven because I laugh all the time. I'd strongly dislike being in an eternal place where I couldn't look on the bright side and laugh when something's funny.

Happy April Fools Day

"I'd rather laugh than cry, crying gives me a headache." -Marjorie Hinckley

Today is April Fools Day and I won't trick anyone because if they tricked me back I'd probably start crying! (Because of my disease.) Before I got sick, I loved doing unexpected things and laughing. I still think things are funny but if I laugh too much I'll cry. (Because of my disease.) If someone jumped out from behind a door and scared me I'd probably fall over. The situation is funny but they'd probably feel bad, and hence they'd never do it.

Jokes are funny but they should never hurt anyone. A joke is only funny if both people laugh. I used to do jokes and laugh and never consider the other person's feelings. I'd make a joke, laugh, and sometimes do so at their expense. I'd laugh but they wouldn't. I'd say, "Lighten up" and they would...if they thought it was funny. A joke is relative: some people think it's funny and other's don't. (I'm sure that what I think is funny, some people don't.) But a person's feelings are never relative, and they are more important than a joke. When I make a joke to someone, either I'll laugh with them, or they won't laugh and I'll say, "I'm sorry" because I'll respect them.

Yesterday, I mentioned April Fools Day to someone and heard the best joke. They said to say if you put nylons (pantyhose) over a monitor, TV, iPad, or iPhone the screen would become 3-D. The thought of nylons covering monitors is hilarious to me!!! And the idea of someone putting their phone in a knee-hi cracks me up!! I know that some people won't find that funny, but I do. :)
