Today, in the place I am with Jesus, I see him laughing with me.

And when I’m laughing with him in this moment, it’s on the shoreline of a beach. Sometimes we go into the water, get our feet and legs all wet in the surf and play around in the waves, but other times we’re standing on the wet sand, talking and laughing together.

It’s that laughter that arrests me today.

He’s got such a beautiful smile. Joy is in his eyes. His laughter comes from the deep. His enjoyment of the present moment with me is full. He enjoys me, he enjoys the sand and water, he enjoys the sun, he enjoys himself, and he enjoys our laughter.

Every little thing we notice together, he enjoys. Even the funny-looking sandpipers and seagulls strutting about in all their antics.

What are you enjoying today? Where is laughter emerging? Will you allow Jesus to join in that laughing moment with you?
