When we are down and depressed, we pray that God will give us a word of encouragement. To send someone to us that will lift our spirits. Something to bring about a rainbow out of the clouds, to let the sun shine upon us and give us warmth.

As I was driving while working, it seems God saw that I was depressed. So what does God do? Have an encouraging song play over the radio? Part the clouds in the sky? Nope... He played a pratical joke :)

God must have noticed that I have a habit of shaking up my Yoo-hoo between each drink, so He decided to make my mind go completely blank for about five seconds. As I violently slung the Yoo-hoo to the top of the bottle for a quick shake, I noticed a weird sound... then I noticed my pants were slightly wet... I looked at the seat next to me only to find it covered in the chocolate drink... I looked down to notice that I hadn't put the cap back on. :doh:Half of my Yoo-hoo ended up all over the inside of the cab of the truck and on me. This is about the time that I'd normally start cussing, or at the very least, hold back a strong temptation to cuss. But no, I just couldn't help but start laughing. I pulled over on the side of the road and started cleaning up the Yoo-hoo, all the time laughing and praising God.

Fantastic. I too find that those are some of my favorite moments in God's presence. It makes it so easy to just climb up onto His lap and enjoy His fellowship. Thanks for sharing that.

Yes--thanks for sharing, bro. The Holy Spirit just confirmed that, "See what happens when you keep your mind/eyes on Him?!" --NOT that I'll wind up with Yoo Hoo all over the inside of my truck :doh: but that when bad stuff happens I'll count it all joy rather than go where I shouldn't go at a time of temptation.

Ovaltine for me!!...sometimes we're such a serious lot. I just can't believe that humor is a fleshly thing, not to be part of the human experience. Doctors have proven that humor and laughter lowers blood pressure, and brings back chemical balances to the body. I cant imagine life without humor. I've been around people that just lacks humor, and I can almost hear a funeral durge playing in the background. LOL. And it's a wonderful thing to take place, especially when your sitting in traffic..

Oh dear. I think I know, and you're not going to like it Asaph.

(I've no idea what yoohoo is, or why you deserve the stick, but never mind.)

Blessings, Susana
