A good belly laugh does a person and a soul good. I am talking about just sheer laughter, clean humor where you can be set free from living in a pit. Sometimes things funny just happen or you see a hilarious You Tube video and burst out laughing. All of us need that. No one wants to be around a grumpy person so find someway to bring laughter into your life.
A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones. Proverbs 17:22
Sure there are sad times in life like funerals, bad medical diagnosis, job loss, betrayal by a friend or worse yet a spouse, pain in your body, but through all this don’t lose the ability to find something to laugh about. Don’t let your spirit dry up but kick Satan in the you know what and get up and get going and find something fun or funny to do.
Don’t allow life to get you down but get out, get going, find a friend to help, then find a good clean joke book or tune in to the Christian comedy of someone like Chonda Pierce who had good reason to stop laughing after losing her much too young husband David at had 54 to a brain tumor. Find ways to make others happy and above all smile. Laughter is indeed the best medicine.
PRAYER: Lord I thank you for the gift of laughter. You created it. You want life to be fun. Help me cultivate a happy spirit even in the midst of trying times. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
