March 8, 2012 Laughter


March 8, 2012

This is pretty much what fills my cell phone photo album and, thankfully, my life.  Without a doubt the number one question most commonly asked when people find out I am Jay Sampson's wife is, "He is so funny, do you just laugh all the time?"  I often smile and say "Oh he's pretty wonderful" while inside I'm thinking, "Yes all life's problems just melt away when married to Mr. Funny Man."  In truth, I am so thankful for having a home full of laughter.  While at times I want to chunk my shoe at Jay when he cracks a joke during what I consider a somber heart-to-heart ah...discussion...but God has also prepared my soul for life with a man of humor, and often those small little skirmishes dissipate when he can get me to smile at the silliness of the situation.  Really, I'm ready to declare war over a missed trash day?  Of course, Jay's nearly 18 years of marriage has also provided some wisdom and discernment for appropriate moments for smiles.  My family is kind of quirky and I love it!  Sometimes I walk in a room and the kids and Jay are doubled over with laughter and no one really knows why.  I think I am often serious enough for the whole bunch, so it's beautiful to be given to a husband and children who know the joy of laughter!
