Scientists have studied the effects of laughter on human beings and have found that laughter has a profound and instantaneous effect on virtually every important organ in the human body in some very beneficial ways. Laughter reduces health-sapping tensions and relaxes the tissues as well as exercising most vital organs. It is said that laughter, even when forced, results in beneficial effects on us, both mentally and physically…and, I believe, spiritually as well. Scripture agrees. So…go ahead…laugh!

Job 8:21

[God] will yet fill your mouth with laughter

And your lips with shouting.

Proverbs 17:22

A cheerful heart is good medicine,

but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.

“We need to laugh more. The enjoyment of the current moment is so often overshadowed by pressures from without and within. We postpone laughter because we don’t think we have earned the right to be happy. Or we are postponing laughter because we are waiting to turn a corner in our circumstances. Well we haven’t earned it and that’s one of the reasons why we can be so happy. It’s not attached to us or our circumstances. We are happy for other reasons. So go ahead and laugh; it’s good medicine.” ~ John Fischer

The Lord bless you and keep you…
