Those with a sense of humour not only make us see the funny side of life.
Their sense of humour also makes us reflect about life.
What we think are so serious and urgent and important may not really be so.
After all, how many things about life are really so critical that they are life threatening?
In the 1st reading, when Abraham was already 100 years old and his wife Sarah was already 90 years old and they were still waiting for the child that God had promised them.
So, when God said that Sarah will conceive and bear a son, Abraham can’t help but laughed at the thought of a 90-year-old woman bearing a child.
Even though he was already quite disappointed with waiting such a long time, Abraham was also tickled by the thought of Sarah being pregnant.
But what man thinks is impossible is certainly not impossible with God.
So, even though we may be going through and having a rough and tough time, let us take a look at ourselves, and may we be able to laugh at ourselves for our immature reactions.
May that lead us to laugh with joy at how God comes to help us to solve those problems that we thought were so serious and urgent.
