I don’t know why, but in the time period we celebrate “Hallowed Eve, thanksgiving and Christmas, I can’t help enjoy what The Force Behind Creation (God in my system) thinks of how we take ourselves so seriously over two celebrating events.
One of the neatest sounds in all of creation is the “Heavenly Chuckle.” This is the chuckle, we seem to hear, when Life says, “Relax, you're taking yourselves way to seriously!”
Since no person has ever completely seen The Force Behind Creation (my God), all studies about them are a matter of opinion. We are asks us to respect one another, to accept one another without censure. If we have this mutual respect we can laugh “at and with” each another. The “Heavenly Chuckle” is to be shared by all people.
Recently an article I read included something along these lines, that gave me a chuckle and I want to share it with you. When I read it the very first time, I am positive I heard the “Heavenly Chuckle.” Here it is my modification of that article.
“HOW PEOPLE RESPOND IN A CRISIS...”
During a political gathering, someone rushed in and shouted, “The building is on fire!”
The Congressional attendees yelled throw money at it;
The Methodist gathered in the corner and prayed;
The Baptist cried, “Where's the water?”;
The Christian Scientist agreed there was no fire;
The Fundamentalist shouted, “It's the vengeance of God!”;
The Atheist began to sing “Case Sera” - whatever will be will be;
The Lutherans nailed a notice on the door declaring the fire was not justified;
The Quakers quietly praised God for the blessings the fire would bring;
The Jews posted symbols above the door hoping the fire would pass over;
The Congregationalist shouted, “Everyone for themselves!”;
The Muslims were divided over whether the fire was an act of heroism or terrorism;
The Church of Christ kept the news all to themselves;
The Episcopalians formed a procession and marched out in grand style;
The PAC members asked if anyone needed advice as what to do;
The Catholics sold tickets to toast marshmallows;
The Presbyterians appointed a chairperson who was to appoint a committee to look into the matter;
The President declared the fire started before I got here!
Yes we are all different in our views and understandings about who or what God is or what this life is all about, but we still are beholden to Someone or Something in all things. Perhaps the last laugh is on us. Maybe we are here for fellowship with Someone or Something, for their amusement. I personally can hear my God chuckle at are seriousness of the subject. Ain't that neat?
Shall we all lighten up on who is right or wrong and solve life’s problems together, before it is to late and the “Chuckle” turns to a “Sob” over our demise?
