Why the [Word Softener] is he laughing?

     When I was in 6th grade I went on the trip of a lifetime.  My grandparents took me on a trip that lasted an entire month!  That was the longest that I have ever been away from my parents.  I was with my grandparents and their friends, who I didn't know… you know the type, FACE PINCHERS.  We went on a tour of France, Italy, Greece and Spain. Like I said, the trip of a LIFETIME!

     Throughout the trip I would be caught laughing hysterically at the conversations my grandparents were having with their friends.  I would laugh every time my grandparents friends would swear.  I was laughing a lot.  I never heard old people (or any people for that matter) talk like that.  I laughed because I was uncomfortable and didn't know what else to do.  They would often ask "why the *bleep* is he laughing?" Causing in me… more laughter. :-\

     I would laugh out loud because I was uncomfortable. I could put myself in Sarah's shoes and hear her laughing (crying) at God's promise. "A 91 year old mother who is past the age of menopause how is that possible?  I'm going to have a son with my husband who is 99 years old and we've been trying to have a kid for a crazy amount of years? " Hearing the question , "is anything too difficult for the Lord?" would have stopped me dead in my laughter.

    Is anything too difficult for the Lord?

    I laugh sometimes because I am uncomfortable. I forget the question the Lord asks of Sarah and I throw myself on myself, only compounding whatever problem I'm facing.  Imagine the laughter Sarah had when she felt her baby kick for the first time.  Sheesh! I am so thankful for the opportunity to journey with you all as we approach the summer.  May I be constantly reminded of His question to Sarah, "Is anything too difficult for the Lord?"
