The Joy We Lack
Eli is such a blessing to us in the Buffington household. He is a joy and a delight. It is so neat to watch him change and grow everyday. He is learning so many new things. His newest and most fun skill is the ability to entertain himself. He can make himself laugh- and when he gets going it builds into an all out belly laugh. It is so funny and contagious. It gets us rolling on the floor in stitches too.
He loves to take some of his plastic rings and drop them on the floor. They roll around and spin to the ground and Eli finds this quite hysterical. I can tell he is pleased with himself and knows that he was the one to make the toy do such a funny thing.
I am thankful for Eli and for the joy he gives us when we are lacking and in need of comic relief. He is a constant reminder to me of the importance of have a child like faith and approach to life. I want to always laugh at the simple funny things in life. I want to find the humor in the ordinary. Laughter is one of the best medicine's that God has given us. I praise God for the gift of laughter. This is a gift I want Him to continue to give me in increasing measure.
