Minions. Cartoon characters. Despicable Me. You, Lord, flabbergasted me when I realized how You had worked in my life through these little critters. Much needed and life-giving laughter came through the minions. As I watched the first Despicable Me movie I laughed till I cried and couldn’t get my breath. Just when I thought I was through laughing, I started all over again and was totally unable to speak so that I could be understood by others. All through a children’s movie. All through little cartoon characters. I can still laugh about it all as I remember portions of the movie. Lord, You truly do use all things to work for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose. Thank You.
Laughing too is a gift from You, Abba Father. It is such a joy. You have used it to rescue me from being overwhelmed by all that is going on in my/my family’s life. I could feel the heaviness being lifted from me as I laughed more and more. It felt so good to laugh and enjoy Your gift. I will definitely go see Despicable Me 2. More wonderful and life-giving laughs from You. You are so good to me. Praise You.
