Laughter and Tears

When I woke up this morning, it was pouring rain, so Abigail and I had a lazy morning. We lounged around in our pajamas until almost noon and played on the floor in Abigail's room. While we were playing, I broke down and started sobbing. For some reason the sound of my sobbing made Abigail laugh. The more I cried, the more she laughed. Her giggles made me quit crying and start laughing too.

Joy, when I was up with Sierra last night you came to my mind so I spent that time praying for you and these verses came to mind from Ecclesiastes 3:

There is an appointed time for everything..a time to give birth and a time to die..a time to tear down and a time to build up...a time to weep and a time to laugh...a time to mourn and a time to dance...a time to search and a tiime to give up as lost... a t ime to keep and a time to throw away...a time to be silent and a time to speak...

I know you will go through many of these cycles and each side of them is okay and is needed. I am thankful that the crying yesterday morning turned to laughing with Abigail.

My prayers are with you each day and everyday!
