Synopsis

A grandchild's observation, "Mom-mom, your belly is squishy..."

A memory that seems to be on permanent leave...

A heart that needs monitoring...

A sandwich generation who deals with stinky laundry on one end and toe fungus on the other.

A body likened to a leaky tent...

Friends and family that keep you laughing and leaking...

It's all part of becoming a quinquagenarian--that magical, problematic age between fifty and sixty.

Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. (Proverbs 31:25 ESV)

Although Lisa J. Radcliff has not felt particularly strong or dignified as she entered the quinquagenarian season, she has found it to be a time to laugh. The inevitable effects of aging, coupled with her natural klutziness, friends who find humor in everything, and knowing God is sovereign allowed her to laugh through the ups and downs of this season of life.

Now Lisa is sharing those funny moments of her fifties in a new devotional, A Time to Laugh. It is sure to provide a smile, if not a full-on belly laugh, along with spiritual encouragement. If you're in that same season of life, you'll find Lisa's stories familiar and comforting. You are not alone in wondering what has happened to your memory or your flat stomach. Why not laugh about it together?

The highlight of this season for Lisa is her grandchildren. They never disappoint in the things they say, keeping their mom-mom laughing. Their quotes are sprinkled throughout the book with some being turned into heartwarming cartoons. Grandparents will relate to their precious voices, and those awaiting the "grand" season will laugh at the possibilities to come.

In A Time to Laugh, Lisa J. Radcliff shares the funny side of this season through true stories of her changing body and mind, the lessons learned in over fifty years, the shenanigans of family and friends, and the antics of kids and grandkids. Even with all the issues that come in the quinquagenarian season of life, it can also be "a time to laugh."
