Good morning! This weekend was a time to honor our military veterans and say thank you. I hope you took a few minutes to reflect, remember and give thanks for the freedoms you enjoy and for the men and women who have put their lives on the line for that freedom.
Sunday evening I had the opportunity to get together with friends from church to watch the Steelers game. During our time together the laughter was continuous and joy filled the house. Today I want to challenge you with laughter.
Job
He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.
I am one who loves to laugh and looks for the humor in life. Sadly, life is filled with so many circumstances that rob us of our joy. Each day the enemy comes to “steal, kill and destroy,” but Jesus has promised us a life that is “abundant.” One of the greatest sources of rejuvenation comes from laughter. Laughter changes the way we see life and gives us a place of retreat during difficult times. I find that so many times my day is turned around by a good joke, a funny show or the quick wit of a friend.
Today I challenge you to look for the humor in life. Studies tell us that laughter can even be beneficial to your health. Laughter is thought to:
- Protect the heart
- Improve brain function
- Boost immunity
- Lower blood pressure
Look for those humorous moments that randomly occur throughout your day and thank God for filing your mouth with laughter.
Until next Monday, may God’s richest blessings be yours this week.
