THE BENEFITS OF LAUGHTER!!!!! When was the last time you had a good laugh? Proverbs 17:22 says, “A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing.” While laughter may seem like the last thing on our list of priorities, it is something we should make a vital part of our daily lives. God created the gift of laughter to benefit our lives in so many ways. When we’re discouraged, uptight or stressed, a simple smile or laugh can change a mood instantly. Not only does it relieve stress, rejuvenate us from the pressures of life and make us feel better, it is medically proven to release healing throughout our bodies. Laughter also helps bring down the relational walls in our lives and helps us connect with others better. When we don’t laugh, we don’t release the healing that God has placed on the inside. When we go around stressed, solemn and discouraged, the chemicals that God designed to keep us young, lower our blood pressure and stimulate the immune system lay there dormant, unused and ineffective. Take time every day to laugh. God desires that we live full of joy. Decide to be good natured and fun to be around. Look for the humor in life. If you will let God fill your mouth with laughter, not only will it bring honor to God, but you will enjoy your life more, have better relationships, live healthier and be more creative. So, go ahead, laugh your way to a better life! J. O
