TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"A cheerful heart does good like medicine, but a broken spirit makes one sick." (Proverbs 17:22)
TODAY'S WORD
God has given you a great prescription for living a long, healthy, and happy life: Laugh, and laugh a lot! The "medicine" of laughter is within everyone, but you may need to start taking it. Recent studies have shown that laughter boosts the body's immune system, reduces stress, reduces the risk of heart attack, and even acts as a natural tranquilizer. Those are health benefits everyone needs.
This weekend our family got away for a day and took some time to laugh. Our daughter Alyssa always makes us laugh. It felt so good to be away and take time to just laugh. I could feel such joy coming into my soul.
That's why it's tragic to go through life with a stone face. The enemy has convinced too many into thinking that they need to be somber and serious in order to be a Christian. But don't fall for that trick. God wants you to laugh and live well!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Lord, thank You for a sense of humor and for laughter. Teach me how to enjoy this wonderful gift and share it with others. In Jesus' name. Amen.
We sure love you!
Eric & Rita
