Does God have a sense of humor?

You know I haven't heard a sermon about God's sense of humor lately,but today at work a dear brother in Christ and i had a short but ever so meaningful talk about God's sense of humor. I believe unless we see that side of God, I'm not sure we'll totally appreciate him.As i think of all the creatures that God has created,the Penguin ,whale,hairless cats oh and lets not forget the "duck-billed platypus,,i mean seriously?? if some of his creations don't get you to chuckle a little bit,well maybe you need to get to know the God i serve a little better.Lets consider what we find in Scripture itself,keeping in mind that Scripture was inspired by God,,Job 39:13-18
13)“The ostrich flaps her wings grandly,
but they are no match for the feathers of the stork.
14)She lays her eggs on top of the earth,
letting them be warmed in the dust.
15)She doesn’t worry that a foot might crush them
or a wild animal might destroy them.
16)She is harsh toward her young,
as if they were not her own.
She doesn’t care if they die.
17)For God has deprived her of wisdom.
He has given her no understanding.
18)But whenever she jumps up to run,
she passes the swiftest horse with its rider. How about vs.17 I bet my wife hopes she never get described that way.Proverbs 11:22 says, "Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion,I bet that helps out the women on those days they feel kind of,, "less than beautiful"you think maybe Solomon just finished fighting with one of his many wives when he said this"Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife"Proverbs 21:9 and Proverbs 22:13 says "The sluggard says, 'There is a lion outside!,how do you think that would go over on a Monday morning with your boss?You see God's humor is never cruel, we as humans seem to try to twist it into something it's not.God's humor is totally pure and untainted just as he is.Proverbs 16:24 says, "Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones." Aren't you glad?We serve such a Glorious and loving Lord. (PS.Thanks Dave for taking time to talk about the Lord with me) Blessings
