Drawing the Faith - Sarah Laughs

Jai ho explains, "On a hot day when Trinity appeared as three strangers, Abraham received and hosted a dinner to them. On hearing that Sarah shall have a son at her old age, Sarah laughed out loud," 

When asked what is the message you give through this drawing, Jai ho replies, "It's ok to laugh, and God loves those who express their faith through laughter." 

Herewith i also attach a litany of laughter which was written based on the same text:
