LAUGHTER'S POWER - By: Sue Ellen Sprouse


LAUGHTER'S POWER

Laughter is a gift from God
That transcends grief and pain.
It's like a healing ointment
Spreading hope and peace again.

A chuckle from down deep within
Fills listeners with delight.
They soon join in the merriment
And troubles soon take flight.

Cherish the friend who laughs with you
Helping you smile through your tears.
For they are a prize to hold onto
And treasure throughout the years.

For laughter is like a medicine
The Psalmist said in truth.
It makes you feel alive again
And helps preserve your youth.

If we find humor in little things
As we live from day to day
We'll be as a ray of sunlight
And we'll brighten another's way.

A Hard Word To Take




A Hard Word To Take

The word submit, seems to some, a dirty word hard to take;
But if you love the Lord, it’s a commitment you will make.

I’m not saying it won’t be hard, alone for you to do;
In trusting God and staying close to Him, it is possible for you.

I know at times a man; can just drive you up the wall;
But the Lord dwells near by us, gives strength when we call.

Sometimes, I know, you feel like growling and pulling out your hair;
Strength to show him love is there, when you give to God your care.

I know, it’s hard, when he takes advantage of the love you’ve shown;
But because of your patience and love, he has spiritually grown.

When the skillet has lifted, to bang upon his head;
Just remember ladies, you’ll miss him, when he’s dead.

When you’re tempted ladies, with the dog his bed to make;
Take a deep breath, and sloooowly meditate.

Just remember all the good times, the candy and that single rose;
And that love filled night, when he got the courage to propose.

There are so many things to appreciate; he is after all, your prince;
Even if at times he lacks, a simple common sense.

I know submit is a really hard word to take;
But please ladies, do it, for testimonies sake.

Then the Lord will bless, both you your children too;
If you’re just willing, to do as the Lord has told you to do.

If a day gets hard and you really want to ring his neck;
Just reach those sweet lips over and give him a little peck.

Now, if you feel like gritting your teeth, and making some mean face;
Call upon the Lord, to provide you with His strength and gentle grace.

With all fun and kidding aside, this remains serious advice
Love your husband dearly and live a life of sacrifice.



I wrote this just to be a bit funny, but at the same time teach a biblical truth taught in the scriptures.

1 Corinthians 16:16 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.
Ephesians 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
Colossians 3:18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
Hebrews 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

I Just Got Mooned



I Just Got Mooned

By: Susan Y Nikitenko
July, 2010

Our Lord has a wonderful since of humor. God has blessed me with two beautiful daughters that like to goof off. When I have felt down or disappointed, they try to make me laugh. I have done the same for them in past years. My daughter threatened me one day and said. "Mom, if you don't straighten up I'm going to moon you." We'll the shock of it all made me laugh. I told her she'd better not or she'd be in trouble. Well, I felt down again a couple days ago. While we were in the car my girls and my Son inlaw were threatening to moon me. I laughed and told them, "You'd better straighten up or I'm going to moon you." We were kidding of course, but we had a good laugh.

We went to the Massillon Tiger football game and while I was watching the game, I looked up at the dark sky and noticed a very dark cloud with a bright white edging. I watched as a harvest moon peeked out from behind a very black cloud. Slowly it arose to reveal a beautiful full bright moon. It looked bigger than normal. I started laughing hysterically. As I realized, I had just been mooned. I could hear God whisper to my heart. "I heard what you said, and I'm going to moon you." God always has the best medicine. He does, fill my heart with laughter.

Sleepy Eyed



Sleepy Eyed

Susan Y Nikitenko
(Hill Billy Humor)

Went to church on Sunday mornin’.
My husband by my side.
When the preacher started preahin’;
My man got sleepy eyed.

His head it got real heavy like;
It nodded with a jerk.
But when I pinched him on the leg.
He sat there quite alert.

As soon as I thought all was well.
I saw he dripped some drool.
I pulled the hairs upon his arm.
He seemed to think me, cruel.

But it only cured His symptoms;
Just for a little bit.
I thought my life was over when;
His head fell with a hit.

I felt like sinkin’ in my chair.
When all eyes looked our way.
After that, my husband awoke;
To hear the preacher say.

It’s time to wake up Christian friend;
And listen to the Lord!
Don’t let Him find you sawing logs;
Or living like the world!

Too many Christians lulled asleep;
By devils lullabies.
Pray to the Lord and keep alert;
Beware of sleepy eyes.

Jesus left them in the garden.
He told them all to pray.
When He returned, they were asleep.
Will He find you that way?

My husband sat there quite awake.
Stunned by the preachers words.
Will he sleep in church again?
Or will his heart be stirred?

I guess we’ll find out next Sunday;
Whether He stays awake.
After that toe stompin’ sermon;
It should be a piece of cake.


Luke 22:46b
Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

Mark 13:35-37
Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the
master of the house cometh, at even, or at
midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping
And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

This is a pretend story between my husband and me ...but yet quite true in some life out there in the world. I've witnessed this first hand in church. 

This is a story poem I made up for fun, but I have seen these things happen in church. When I've had a sleepless night I've had trouble staying awake myself. So I'm careful not to jump to conclusions with other people. It is quite funny to watch and we all need a good chuckle every know and then.
