I’m not sure what all heaven’s going to be like, but I firmly believe it’ll be a place filled with laughter—that deep belly-roaring, utterly humbling hilarity of joy like the prodigal son experienced when his father saw him from a long way off and started running, scooped him up, and said with a boisterous mirth-filled heart, “I’m so glad you’re home!” There was some one thing that was too great for God to show us when He walked upon our earth; and I have sometimes fancied that it was His mirth. —G. K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy
