“Our mouths were filled with laughter our tongues with songs of joy.” (Psalm 126:2 NIV)

In today’s world, there is not much to smile about, let alone laugh about. The Bible has over a hundred verses on humor and laughter. So I hope these few lines of humor bring a smile to your face and maybe even a chuckle.

A driver collided with a cow. The questions and answer on the claim form were as follows:

     A—A moo

I hope just for a moment you smiled a little.
