Intro
“Ok, I’ll do it.” Have you ever said those words and regretted them later? I have. I was in fourth grade when my teacher, Mrs. Lyles, told me she had an idea for a school program. She explained that one of my classmates would sing a sad country song, and I would walk out on stage and pretend to cry. “It will be funny! Will you do it?” Although I felt like it was an awful
idea, I said, “Okay, I’ll do it.”
I slowly rode my bike home while thinking, ‘No one is going to laugh. This will never work.’ But I had agreed to do it. The dreaded day finally arrived. Nervously standing back stage, I heard the girl start singing a Hank Williams song. Mrs. Lyles said, “You’re on!” I walked onto the stage and started pacing, crying and looking forlorn. To my surprise, the audience burst into laughter. I recall leaving the stage for a moment and, as the soloist sang “When tears come down like falling rain,” I emerged from underneath the curtain, crawling on my hands and knees, moaning louder than before. The audience laughed even harder. It worked!
The best part of the day wasn't the sound of the laughter or the hug from Mrs. Lyles, but a teacher I didn’t know stopped me and said, “That was so funny. I laughed so hard.” Then, in a very serious tone, she said, “I really needed this today.”
In that moment, I was given a glimpse into the ministry of laughter. When we step out of our comfort zones, we learn a lot. Maybe it’s time for you to say, “Ok,I’ll do it.”
