"Don't Laugh at Me"
Sunday is "Rally Day" at the church and is a time for our church to "kick off" our fall schedule of classes and programs.
I thought it might be good to look at some of the ways in which all of us are hurt. People make fun of our children and it can have a devastating influence on their lives. In a way that is no less devastating we, adults, are laughed at by people who are unkind and hurtful.
The sermon "Don't Laugh at Me" is inspired by a song I hear on a CD by the Acoustic Eidolon. Hanna and Joe Scott live in Berthoud, Colorado. These two talented musicians have given a number of concerts in this area but they travel all over the world.
"Don't Laugh at Me" tells about the little girl with braces, and the little boy who is always chosen last. It's about the homeless man we will not look "eye to eye" and all the people who are thought to be a little "different".
The song reminds us that we are all imperfect people and it points to a time when we will "all have perfect wings".
When have people laughed at you? How did you deal with it?
