In Genesis 18 God told Abraham that his wife would have a son, and Sarah laughed. Then in Genesis 21, she has a son. In verse 6 she names him Isaac meaning laughter, she says 'God has brought me laughter.'
This past weekend I attended Vida Nueva. And there had been things I had heard that made me laugh and think, "No way. That can't change." But after, I found myself happier. Just like Sarah, I didn't believe in the Lord's power but I found myself thanking him for the laughter and love he gave.
