Elvis - A Lighted Candle

[Ka´rala]

"Ya Gotta Lighten Up!"

That's what Spirit is constantly reminding me as we sometimes take life a little too seriously. Here's a little joke I received from a very special friend that had me and all around me laughing out loud....

It feels like a JOKE from ABOVE



Little Carol

Little Carol came into the kitchen where her mother was making dinner. Christmas was coming up and she thought this was a good time to tell her mother what she wanted. "Mom, I want a bike for Christmas."

Now, Little Carol was a bit of a troublemaker. She had gotten into trouble at school and at home. Carol's mother asked her if she thought she deserved to get a bike for Christmas. Little Carol, of course, thought she did.

Carol's mother, being a Christian woman, wanted her to reflect on her behavior over the last year, and write a letter to God and tell him why she deserved a bike for Christmas. Little Carol stomped up the steps to her room and sat down to write God a letter.

LETTER 1:
Dear God:
I have been a very good girl this year and I would like a bike for Christmas. I want a red one.
Your friend,
Carol

Carol knew this wasn't true. She had not been a very good girl this year, so she tore up the letter and started over.

LETTER 2:
Dear God:
This is your friend Carol. I have been a pretty good girl this year, and I
would like a red bike for Christmas.
Thank you,
Carol

Carol knew this wasn't true either. She tore up the letter and started again.

LETTER 3:
Dear God:
I know I haven't been a good girl this year. I am very sorry. I will be a good girl if you just send me a red bike for Christmas.
Thank you,
Carol

Carol knew, even if it was true, this letter was not going to get her a bike. By now,
she was very upset. She went downstairs and told her mother she wanted to go to church.
Carol's mother thought her plan had worked because Carol looked very sad.

"Just be home in time for dinner," her mother said.

Carol walked down the street to the church and up to the altar. She looked around to see if anyone was there. She picked up a statue of the Virgin Mary, slipped it under her jacket and ran out of the church, down the street, into her house, and up to her room. She shut the door and sat down and wrote her letter to God.


LETTER 4:
I GOT YOUR MAMA.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN, SEND THE BIKE.

Signed,
YOU KNOW WHO


LOVE YA ALL sooooo MUCH
Ka´rala

JA, JA, JA, JA, JA, JA...! (sorry, it's Spanish!)

HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA...!

Ka'rala,

Last night I went to "In The Garden With Elvis" at the ELC main site, and asked Elvis something that I could use right now. The message/image there appeared was "LAUGHTER"!! Is it not great?

[Sarena]

That's a good one, Ka'rala!!!!!! Thanks!

[color=cyan]Ja! Ja! Ja! ....means "yes,yes,yes" in German! Is is the laughing-sound in Spanish, Amanda!?/color]

[Amanda Viola]

Ja! Ja! Ja! ....means "yes,yes,yes" in German! Is is the laughing-sound in Spanish, Amanda!?

Ja (yes), it is, Sarena! But only a bit different, as that "J" has the strong sound of English's "H". Well, a little stronger in fact...

Dearest Sue there is absolutely nothing to forgive. Thank you so much for posting the link to this very funny video!! I laughed myself "SILLY" , and all the while I was watching it, I could hear our dear Elvis' precious laughter and feel his enjoyment in my heart! It seems to me that our special guy had his own take on the very nature of the video you just posted here in this video that I'd like to share here with all of you. Pay close attention to the 1:10-1:15 mark in the video! Hope you all enjoy!

[Amanda Viola]

Great, just great both videos!

I love Monty Python and I had some good laughs looking at them in this video. Elvis could get a job in that Ministery of Silly Walking...!

[Rainbow Light]

Glad you both enjoyed these and you're welcome!

Thank you for providing the 2nd link too, Mari! Great to see and how wonderful it would have been to have had the chance to have seen Elvis watching these, seeing THE Smile and hearing that gorgeous, contagious laugh!!
