"Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled. "Blessed are you who
weep now, for you will laugh."
We admire people who are quick on their feet, don't we? Quick on the comeback, saying the right
thing at the right time.
May we also be quick to share a kind word, quick to help, and quick to share the good news of
Jesus Christ. When we do it will be the right thing at the right time.
(Luke 6:21
NRSV)
Will Rodgers had a reputation that he could make anyone laugh. President Calvin Coolidge had a
reputation that he never laughed at anything. Finally, Will Rodgers was invited to the White
House. People wondered what would happen. Both men's reputations were at stake. It is said that
Will Rodgers came through the reception line and was introduced to the President. "President
Coolidge, this is Will Rodgers. Mr. Rodgers, this is President Calvin Coolidge." Will Rodgers
leaned forward and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name." The President cracked up and
started laughing.
Loving God, may my willingness to share open up doors of laughter and faithfulness. Amen.
