If You Want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.

I went to church yesterday, and was unbelievably touched by the short and simple message from the pastor. (another unbelievable thing as this pastor turned to drag and have many examples, yesterday he only had two.)

He opened with the line that came from a Dennis the Menace strip that said, "If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans."

I smiled at the simplicity of the thought.

Indeed, many times, I have made God laugh because of my plans. I would have certain wants and thoughts to follow only to find out later on, that it wasn't a part of His plan and then I'd be back to square 1.

I guess I am just thankful that I have a God who watches over me, and laughs at my plans. At least I know I am not alone. And that despite my sucky plan-making skills, the master is with me, and His will be the ultimate plan to be followed.

I think I will continue to make God laugh, after all, he didn't stop me from dreaming, he just wants me to remember that He's the more serious one between the two of us.
