The Laughing Jesus

[Coconut]

(Sorry - this is not a joke )

I wanted to share this AWESOME picture with those who may never have seen it...

"The Christian tradition hardly associates laughter with Jesus at all, which is why the picture of the laughing Jesus on your pewslip is so striking. No one knows the origin of this picture, but it is thought to come from Latin America, and is popular amongst poor communities there.
They see in it the laughter of hope."

I had pictures that showed Jesus playing with small children that was hand drawn in pencil (I didn't draw them) He was laughing and smiling in those..

I have to say when I see Jesus I know He will be smiling... also we will have a good laugh at some of the things in my life (ohh I know Im gonna hear something about that remark)

Love in Christ
