God is Fun!

My energy and optimism come from my soul, straight from God.  God is "fun" in my life.  I am not shy to share this.  But some people are going through challenging & hard times. 
How can  they see God as "fun" when they're hurting, going through a hard time, suffering, struggling?

Expand your definition of "fun" and your view of God will expand.  "Fun" can involve things that are scary, mysterious, not fully defined, and require endurance, effort, perseverence, and humility on our part.  "Fun" involves more than just the things that are easy for us, and more than just our talents and gifts.  "Fun" can involve waiting, patience, bravery, courage, & trying again and again.  "Fun" can involve the things that are completely out of our control, the things we surrender to, accept, and just allow to happen naturally.  "Fun" is found in someone reaching out to you, offering to help, or surprising you with a gift, letter, phone call, or email.  "Fun" is found in the second burst of energy you really needed to get through the day or a situation.   "Fun" is found in the rejuvenation of a peaceful break, a full night's sleep, and a daily agenda with some empty space.
