Establishing Laughter

My blog post today is dedicated to a lovely BLM friend .....Mattie. For those of you who don't know Mattie she is mama to Ethan on Earth, Shyla Joy and Jakin Isaac in Heaven, and Hope on the other side of the world (she's adopting soon!!!!!!)

Today is Jakin's due date and his name (Jakin Isaac), means "God will establish Laughter". Here's a little quote from Mattie:

"...his name (Jakin Isaac), means "God will establish Laughter". We believe that promise still stands... You see, despite our losses and grief, we believe God will establish laughter in our lives. Because he tells us, "A joyful heart is good medicine, But a broken spirit dries up the bones- Proverbs 17:22......So I need some good "medicine" this week!.......Laughter is a precious gift.  This is something we most dearly realize after being grieved so deeply." 

Mattie asked us to share things that make laugh in honor of her little guy who is enjoying himself in Heaven right now.  So for my post today I'm going to share a few things that make me laugh and that I think might make you crack a little smile as well :)

The number one thing that makes me laugh is my husband......he really is one of the funniest people I know.  When I was pregnant with Aiden I would always sit back and shake my head at his foolisness- lol!  Even now when he does crazy things I say "Aiden, do you see your Daddy down here acting a fool?!?!"  And we both always laugh together because we know Aiden does see and his is probably cracking up while he sits in Heaven looking down on us.  I know that he knows his parents.......and that always makes my heart smile.  Thank you you babe for always putting a smile on my face and Aiden's!
